1. Daihatsu class landing craftThe Daihatsu Class or 14m landing craft (大発, abbreviation of 大型発動機艇 which means "large motorized boat") was a type of landing craft, used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It was similar to the Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel (LCVP), with a bow ramp that was lowered to disembark cargo upon riding up onto the beach. The landing craft was more seaworthy than an LCVP due to its hull design. It was constructed of a metal hull and powered by a diesel engine.
