LCI-270 [dates d/m/y]
2/5/1946 arrived Indochina from Manila
10/1947 'Flotille amphibie sud Cochinchine' (in reserve at Saigon)
11/6/1948 in service in Cochinchina
24/6/1949 in reserve
1/9/1951 condemned, used as a tank-barge in the port of Saigon
[from Roche]
NavSource and Roche claim LCI-310 became the French LCI-202 in 1948; Roche has LCI-202 with the French from 2/1945 until condemned as used as a pontoon 1/9/1951, then broken up in 1955.
[none of the above verified]
Nothing on the others
