Sluban Landing Craft 97 Pcs

The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a high-speed air cushioned vehicle capable of carrying a 60-75 ton payload. The LCAC is used for transporting, ship-to-shore and across the beach, personnel, weapons, equipment, and cargo of the assault elements of the US Marine Air-Ground Task Force. Air cushion technology allows this vehicle to reach more than 70 percent of the world's coastline, while only about 15 percent of that coastline is accessible by conventional landing craft.LCAC first deployed in 1987 aboard USS Germantown (LSD 42). LCAC are transported in and operate from all amphibious well deck ships including LHA, LHD, LSD and LPD. The craft operates with a crew of five. All of the planned 91 craft have been delivered to the Navy.
