ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

The electrical system (fig. 1-14) includes two 70-amp, 24-volt alternators, one alternator mounted on the inboard

engine of each propulsion unit. Four 6-volt batteries, connected in series to provide 24-volt current, are contained in the

battery box located aft in the engine room. The alternators and batteries provided electrical power to operate all lights

and electrical accessories on the landing craft and for the electric starters which are mounted on the outboard engines of

each propulsion unit.
