===Amphibious mechanized utility and landing craft=== Mechanized utility and landing craft were the kind used during the second world war and, while the mechanized landing craft of today are similar in construction, many improvements have been made. For example, landing craft (such as the [[LCM-8]] of the [[US Navy]]) are capable of a military lift of {{convert|183|MT|LT}} at a speed of {{cvt|22|km/h|mph}}, carrying even heavy equipment, such as [[M1 Abrams]] tanks. Landing craft can mount several [[machine gun]]s or similar weapons for the defense of troops and/or vehicle crews inside.
