	Landing Craft, Air Cushion
		LCAC was developed to satisfy the need for an air cushion landing craft capable of carrying troops, artillery, tanks, combat vehicles, and other major items of combat and combat support equipment across the beach.

		LCAC have proven to be extremely reliable and provide the operational commander with a significant capability when planning any mission.
