Often with a mulberry type dock the LST would unload by coming straight in like a ferry boat, opening the bow doors and dropping the ramp, rolling the cargo off. The method of unloading the LCT was quite interesting, the ship was heeled over and the craft slid off!
Indeed, I am building those roll-off ramps too. But Mulberry B didn't have many of them...... and the ones on Mulberry A were destroyed by the storm, so most LST's on Omaha just drove up the beach or used pontoons tied to the ramp...
