Parent topics
Subtopics
- Landing Craft Rocket [r]: Second World War vessel for a variant of naval gunfire support in amphibious warfare. Along with the landing craft carrying troops, some landing craft would be filled with rows of multiple rocket launchers, so that a massive amount of fire could be delivered alongside or just ahead of the troops, stunning defenders that survived. [e]
- Landing Helicopter Dock [r]: Amphibious warfare ships with both an internal dock that can be flooded to allow smaller landing craft to swim out, as well as a flight deck for helicopters and STOVL aircraft; with more flight deck space than the current Landing Platform Dock ships [e]
- Landing Platform Dock [r]: (LPD) Large amphibious warfare ships with both an internal dock that can be flooded to allow smaller landing craft to swim out, as well as a flight deck for helicopters and STOVL aircraft [e]
- Landing craft, mechanized [r]: Moderately large landing craft used in amphibious warfare to transport tanks and other heavy equipment from the transport ships to the beach [e]
- Landing craft, personnel (large) [r]: A WWII landing craft of exceptionally shallow draft, appropriate for certain difficult beach approaches, but also to carry guns or rockets for final fire support [e]
- Landing craft, vehicle, personnel [r]: A widely used light landing craft of WWII, which could land 30-40 troops, or small vehicles, on a beach, withdraw, and return to a ship [e]
- Amphibious Assault Ship [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Amphibious Ready Group [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Amphibious ship [r]: A ship designed for amphibious warfare, as opposed to a smaller landing craft [e]
- Amphibious warfare [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Attack cargo ship [r]: A WWII-era U.S. Navy ship designed specifically to carry heavy equipment, supplies and troops in support of amphibious assaults, and to provide naval gunfire support during those assaults. [e]
- Combat loading [r]: A method of loading cargo into ships that will carry it to amphibious landing sites, such that can be unloaded in a manner optimized to meet the operational needs of combat rather than maximizing the utilization of the ship's cargo space [e]
Bot-suggested topics

- Battle of Britain [r]: Those German offensive air strikes, and British defense, with which the Germans had intended to establish air supremacy for their proposed invasion of Britain [e]
- Centers of gravity (military) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Chu Lai [r]: Originally built as a logistical facility for U.S. forces in Danang, it is now an economic development zone in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, encouraging both domestic and foreign business development under the doi moi economic reforms [e]
