The Jason-class tank landing ship is a class of tank landing ships (LSTs) designed and built in Greece through a cooperation of the Elefsis Shipyards with the National Technical University of Athens and the Hellenic Navy, which ordered the ships in 1986.
They have a length of 116 m (380 ft 7 in), a beam of 15.3 m (50 ft 7 in), and a draught of 3.4 m (11 ft 2 in). They can reach a top speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph).
The tank landing ships have a displacement of 4,470 tons full load and are powered by two Wärtsilä Nohab 16V25 diesels. They can carry a complement of 120 sailors.
Each ship of the class is armed with one Oto Melara 76 mm/62 Mod 9 compact naval gun, two Breda 40 mm/70 guns, and two smaller Rheinmetall 20 mm guns in twin mounts. A serious drawback of the ships is the lack of a modern CIWS system.
The main radar of the ships is the Thomson-CSF TRS-3030 Triton G which is a G-band, 2D Surface-to-Air & Surface-to-Surface Radar. The ships have installed the Thomson-CSF Vega II command and control system which includes the Pollux TRS3220 fast-scanning radar as a fire control radar system.
