Accurate Armour Landing Craft

The LCT(4) was a 185.5 foot long British designed and produced 'shallow draught' tank landing craft which could carry 9 Shermans/Cromwells, or 6 Churchills, or 300 Tons of stores. 864 were made and were used on ALL D-Day invasion beaches to carry both US and Commonwealth units. The LCT(4) could deploy in water as shallow as 3 feet!

This US designed craft was smaller than it's LCT(4) companion, and was used on all the D-Day invasion beaches to carry mixed loads of AFV's, 'soft-skin' vehicles and stores. It was also used throughout the world in all campaigns by the US Navy, with many surviving in service for decades.
