Amphibious Ships and Landing Craft Data Book, MCRP 3-31B,

Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3-31B, Amphibious Ships and Landing Craft Data Book, is for use in planning where generalized capabilities and measurements are required. In planning for operations where exact capabilities and figures are required, the individual ship’s loading characteristics pamphlet (SLCP) must be consulted.

The information contained in this MCRP was obtained from the individual SLCPs and from the Naval Sea Systems Command. The data is based on class averages. No broken stowage factors have been applied to square footage in embarked landing craft.
