landing craft

Specialized ships developed in World War II for the transport and delivery of troops and equipment in a seaborne assault.

Landing ships were large craft capable of long sea voyages; they carried tanks, vehicles, and landing craft.

Landing craft were small flat-bottomed boats suitable only for use close inshore and were used to ferry troops and light equipment from landing ships and transports to the beach.
