Ropucha class landing ship
- Ropucha class landing ship
The Ropucha ("toad"), or Project 775 class landing ships are classified in the Russian Navy as "large landing craft"("Bol'shoy Desatnyy Korabl"). They were built in Poland in the Stocznia Polnocna shipyards, in Gdansk. They are designed for beach landings and can carry a 450 ton cargo.
They were built for the Soviet Navy during the Cold War, but the current Russian Navy has little need for a long-range amphibious capability and most of them are kept in reserve.
