There were several ship configuations with slightly different specs. This is from notes and to the best of my memory (64 years later):
Ship length: 203.7 feet
Beam 34 feet
Cruising radius 3500 miles
Standard Speed 12 knots
Full Speed 13.5 knots
Landing Tonnage 1743 tons
Seagong Tonnage 1095 tons
Re: armament the 371 had one "twin" 40 mm forward cannon and four 20mm cannons and five 50-caliber machine guns. (Other versions had a 5-inch cannon and 20-5 inch rocket launchers plus a variety of other armaments. The Rocket Launcher versions were LSM-Rs.)
Normal complement 4 officers and 54 men, but the LSM 371 had a "fifth officer".
