Fabius-class aircraft repair ship

The Fabius-class aircraft repair ship was a class of repair ships that were operated by the United States Navy during World War II.

Design

Fabius-class was a ship class consisting of two modified LST-542-class tank landing ships, where they serve as aircraft repair ships in late 1945. They have the same hull measurements with changes taken place on their armaments and displacements, alongside a workshop to carry out their role. Only LST-1093 and LST-1095 were chosen to be modified and redesignated ARVA, with "A" standing for "Aircraft".
Both ships survived the war and were mothballed for a short while, before Fabius was reactivated amid the Korean War in the 1950s. Mexico bought Megara and renamed her to ARM General Vincente Guerrero.
