We have came up with the bigger ones of such a platform, and since it didn't attract many people, it didn't progress further and projected to today.It could be, and by all means we should have been the country that came up with this, with tens of shipyards and design bureaus we have.
I really love this approach. If it is possible to design it with a displacement of 7-8 thousand tons, I wish that the planning for LST 3 and 4 continue on this platform.(...)

We once had a design called LCT-H that could have been converted to a Multi purpose platform if needed. (found at: Here @Alterund
looks like drone mothership
CGI of Damen's Multi-Purpose ship designed for the Portuguese Navy. One of the main design philosophies appears to be USV/UUV operations. NRP D. João II, also known as the Multifunctional Naval Platform, will be a multipurpose ship for the Portuguese Navy, capable of carrying out surveillance operations, oceanographic research, environmental and meteorological monitoring, as well as emergency evacuation missions. Designed to sail with 48 crew members, the ship has a displacement of 6,900 tons, a total length of 107.6 m and accommodation for a battalion of soldiers when necessary. A platform roughly the size of the Bayraktar LSTs. Multi-purpose ships with a stern dock and helicopter deck, similar to a landing platform dock ship, have become increasingly important in world navies, and this has begun to include this innovation in parallel with the development of unmanned maritime.
Although the Turkish Navy has adapted by converting the navantia Athlas platform with a displacement of 28 thousand tons and a huge hangar area, as a country that is particularly looking to play a leading role in the development of unmanned marine vehicles, can these capabilities be prioritized in the design of smaller combat support, auxilarry, logistics and amphibious element ships in future?
I really love this approach. If it is possible to design it with a displacement of 7-8 thousand tons, I wish that the planning for LST 3 and 4 continue on this platform.
I don't think our navy will give up beaching capacity under any circumstances on ships that will also serve as additional tank landing craft. So my ideas are shaped according to this assumption.View attachment 71263
