SCOPE.
a. This manual covers Landing Craft Utility, LCU 1671-1679
The Landing Craft is a twin screw, diesel-engine driven vessel of welded steel construction. For long voyages (trans-ocean) it will normally be carried on the deck of a ship in one piece. The craft is designed to carry cargo from ship to shore, shore to shore, ship to pontoon causeway. The landing craft may be linked, bow to stern with another craft, creating its own causeway. The landing craft upon reaching its destination can load or unload cargo over a hinged bow ramp directly from/onto a beach or pontoon causeway. Cargo may consist of either three (3) M-103A tanks, six (6) M-42 tanks, three (3) M-48 tanks, motor vehicles or artillery equipment and their operating /maintenance personnel and miscellaneous cargo. After a beach landing, the craft is designed to retract from the beach under its own power, assisted by the use of the Stern Anchor.
