The Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) is arguably the most famous landing craft in history, its profile
intimately linked to Allied amphibious operations in World War II, from Anzio to the beaches of
Normandy.The LCM-3 variant is certainly one of the most successful and effectively employed. The
design was simple and straightforward yet extremely rational. The large front loading ramp allowed
for the rapid disembarkation of a fully armed infantry squad as well as a 30-ton medium Sherman tank.
The armor was very light, protecting the diesel engine, which enabled the LCM to reach a maximum
speed of 8 knots, and the crew required for navigation and close defense, consisting of four men.
However, significant was its loading capacity and operational flexibility, which allowed the LCM-3 to carve
out an important place in 20th-century military history.
