A REVIEW OF CURRENT AND FUTURE AMPHIBIOUS SURFACE VEHICLES. VOLUME I. VEHICLE REVIEW.

Abstract

This report is a technical discussion of physical characteristics and performance capabilities of a number of amphibian vehicles. The vehicles selected for discussion are those procured for and used by the Marine Corps. They include (1) the family of armored, assault, personnel carriers, amphibian, (2) the high-speed hydrofoil and planing-hull amphibian vehicles, and (3) the displacement hull rubber-tired amphibian vehicles. Engineering reports published during the period 1956 through 1965 that were concerned with the above vehicles were reviewed. Data from these reports are presented in a form intended to show the development of the vehicles that occurred during the selected time period. (Author)
