Let's not be confused by what a weapons delivery system is.  A merchant LST 
whose nationality is disguised while it is engaged in a combat invasion is in 
"the same pot" as a disguised MIG pilot in a dogfight. The MIG's weapons 
consisted of machine-guns, etc.  The LST's weapons' system consisted of 
combat troops, tanks, artillery, and other weapons of war that disembarked 
from it.
