Wow! Thank You very much!
I've seen some of these pictures, but there's also some material previously unknown to me!

Again, not landing ships of the Polish Navy, but some landing ships built in Poland.
After the end of Cold War and cancellation of orders for landing ships by the Polish Navy, Polish shipyards turned their attention (and hopes for survival) towards export markets, especially Indian one (which was and is a Holy Grail of the Polish defence industry). Although the deal for new landing ships for the Indian Navy never materialized, an interest was expressed by the Navy of Yemen. In the 1999 it ordered in the
Stocznia Marynarki Wojennej (
Naval Shipyard) in Gdynia three landing cutters of the NS-717 class and one medium landing ship of the NS-722 class.
NS-717 class landing cutters are slightly larger version of the Pr.716 class landing cutters. They were delivered in may 2001.
NS-722 class medium landing ship is an enlarged descendant of the Pr.733 class, with helicopter pad and with somewhat simplified equipment (in order to cut costs). It was delivered around may-june 2002.
Note: I couldn't find anywhere their pennant numbers, therefore they had to be listed (and filenamed) without them. 
Btw. Anticipating some possible questions related to the materials so generously supplied here by Frankiewicz: this thread is in the "Real Designs" forum, so only actually-built ships will be shown here. For never-were projects there will be a separate thread some time later and in the apropriate forum.
