LVT(4) Amtrac Section
(UBX46)
The Landing Vehicle Tracked or LVT was an amphibious landing craft that first saw service during World War Two with the several different branches of the United States military. The LVT began life as a transport vehicle originally intended to bring supplies ashore, however, its potential as an amphibious assault vehicle was quickly realised.
The LVT first saw action as an assault in the Pacific during the landings on Tarawa where they were able to ferry troops ashore despite the coral reef and shallows the LCVP were not able to negotiate. However, a large portion of the vehicles involved in the action were lost and it was concluded that the LVT was too lightly armoured therefore armour kits were soon issued to vehicles that would participate in any form of opposed landings.
The LVT-4 was by far the most abundant version of the vehicle product, with 8351 vehicles delivered by the end of the war. Most were destined for service with US forces but several hundred were shipped to the United Kingdom as part of the Lend-Lease agreement.
