The Yusha-class amphibious assault ship is a amphibious assault ship constructed for the United States of the Tao Navy. While the USTN describes the Yusha class as tank landing ships, they lack the bow doors and beaching capability traditionally associated with such vessels. Functionally, their good deck makes the Ōsumi class more like a dock landing ship (LSD).
As of 2018 there are 2 Yusha class vessels active with the United States of the Tao Navy.
