I feel Wes has a very good case to make an exception for his ships, but would like to note that there are likely very few other ships in the world which would be able to be converted like that.
If we can get the US and Atlantean reports caught up to Q2/39 by the end of this week, I'll drop my rules-start-date suggestion. I want to see everybody caught up so we don't have major powers lagging behind.

As noted before in this thread, one thing that countries that paid full price will get is much tougher landing ships: ships built to the new proposals are built to merchant standards rather than naval standards, and hence take damage 10 times as fast.

A passenger liner is not a warship. It´s misc weigh represents the ships capability to carry passengers and cargo. Without misc weight a design for a passenger line does not make sense. THe misc weight is paid for, albeit the ship is build to merchantile standards and also cargo is not an integral part of the ship. In roleplaying terms the misc weight represents the higher costs for all the furniture, gold plating etc.

Now, how is a LST different?
It is either a warship meant to use its misc weight to fulfill its main purpose - just like a carrier or submarine - or it is a merchantile design that serves no purpose without misc weight and the capability to carry something - just like a passenger liner. But whatever it is, you have to pay for the misc weight.

So technically as an example, I could have civilian yards build hordes of shallow draft tankers only to have the navy purchase them and pay 50% rebuild cost and convert them to LST's rather than building them to the same standards in navy yards at full cost. Theres nothing in our rules stoping me from doing that.....
