Earlier ships which played a similar role to the current vessels as the heart of an amphibious assault included five Iwo Jima class Landing Platform Helicopter vessels, built in the 1950s and 1960s, and various converted fleet and escort carriers.
Because these ships bore the hull classification of LPH they have often been referred to as "Landing Platform, Helicopter".
