1. landing craft

   A landing craft is a type of boat or vessel specifically designed for transporting troops, equipment, or vehicles from sea to shore during amphibious warfare or other maritime operations. These boats are capable of landing on a coast and offloading their cargo directly onto shore, and they typically feature a flat bottom and bow ramp for easier loading and unloading.

1. Landing craft

   Landing craft are boats and seagoing vessels used to convey a landing force from the sea to the shore during an amphibious assault. Most renowned are those used to storm the beaches of Normandy, the Mediterranean, and many Pacific islands during WWII. This was the high point of the landing craft, with a significant number of different designs produced in large quantities by the United Kingdom and United States. Because of the need to run up onto a suitable beach, WWII landing craft were flat-bottomed, and many designs had a flat front, often with a lowerable ramp, rather than a normal bow. This made them difficult to control and very uncomfortable in rough seas. The control point was normally at the extreme rear of the vessel, as were the engines. In all cases, they were known by an abbreviation derived from the official name rather than by the full title.
