	Amphibious vehicle: amphibious assault vehicle, amphibious all terrain vehicle, argo amphibious vehicle
		The first known self-propelled amphibious vehicle, a steam-powered wheeled dredging barge, named the Orukter Amphibolos, was conceived and built by United States inventor Oliver Evans in 1805, although it is disputed to have successfully travelled over land or water under its own steam[1].
		In some of them the amphibious capabilities are central to their purpose, whereas in others they are only an expansion to what has remained primarily a watercraft or a land vehicle.
		Among tracked armored vehicles with amphibious capabilities are first of all those that are intended for use in amphibious assault.

	NDM Article - Marines Defend New Amphibious Vehicle
		The AAAV—or advanced amphibious assault vehicle—was conceived in the late 1980s as a high-mobility platform that would move forces rapidly from a ship to the surface 25 miles from the shoreline, so they could rapidly advance into the objective area.
		Nans observed that amphibious assault is a misnomer.
		The vehicle drives off the ship on tracks and when it enters the water, the driver hits a button which transitions the vehicle to the high-water speed mode, Nans explained.

		The AAAV is one of three vehicles–along with the Marines’ V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and the Navy’s air-cushioned landing craft (LCAC)–that the Corps is counting on to enhance its ability to sweep in from the sea, assault an enemy shoreline and overwhelm entrenched hostile forces.
		The AAAV, the latest in a long line of amphibious, armored personnel carriers, is intended to transport 18 Marines–a reinforced rifle squad–-and a crew of three from ship to shore, then drive at highway speeds as much as 400 miles inland.
		The AAAV is the most recent in a series of amphibious tractors–or amtracs–that began in the 1930s, as the Marines prepared for their island-hopping campaigns against the Japanese in World War II.

	Another successful amphibious vehicle English Channel Crossing - gizmag Article
		November 15, 2006 Last week yet another successful crossing of the English Channel was made, this time by two Dutton S2 Commander amphibians which made the journey in 7 hours and 5 minutes travelling from Dover (UK) to Calais (France).
		The attempt fell well short of the Sealegs amphibious boat record of 43 minutes, and the Gibbs Aquada’s amphibious car record of one hour, 40 minutes but there are a few special attributes that should be considered.
		Secondly, there was almost no planning involved and the crossing was done in less-than-ideal conditions to draw attention to the plight of a wildfowl reserve (wildfowl being amphibious creatures is the connection) and in ideal conditions a time of better than five hours could be expected.
