Out of the four landing ships for tanks (LSTs) that had been borrowed from Britain during World War II, one - HMS Avenger - was acquired for the RIN and rechristened HMIS Magar on April 11,1949. She was essentially a tank landing ship but was also capable of carrying vehicles, landing craft, men and 2,000 tons of stores.
