    Imagine this big beast rolling up on your position and just vomiting troops out. Oversized land vehicles are a gift and I will hear nothing to the contrary.

      Well shitty little boats did NOT do the job as well as this thing might have on D Day. Can’t have a funnel of death if there is no funnel!

      Well if it’s a landing craft then it’s mostly hollow . I wonder how many combat landings they see these things taking part in before they’re scrap.

    What’s wild is they ultimately deemed this capability very useful and now they use LCAC (hovercraft).

    Thank you for posting the original and not a colorized or even worse AI colorized version. Having color in an old pic can be nice, but it’s also rewriting history and replacing something original with something fake.

    The war museum in Overloon, The Netherlands has one of these on display. It’s massive. Bigger than you can imagine.
