The Sadko-class amphibious assault ship was a class of 5 vessels built from 1960-1965. They were used in amphibious operations, drug interdictions (until 1980), and sometimes aid. They have since been replaced by the Belisarius-class LPD and the General-Marshal-class AAS. A variation of the design is in service with the Tagen Navy as the Taesda-class deployer vessel.
