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. The landing craft could be modified to carry weapons of up to 37mm caliber as armament and could be uparmoured against 40mm fire.
