The LCM-3 variant was one of the most successful and widely used. Its design was simple yet extremely rational: the large front loading ramp allowed rapid disembarkation of a fully armed infantry squad or a 30-ton Sherman medium tank. Light armor protected the diesel engine, which gave a top speed of 8 knots, and the four-man crew who handled navigation and close defense. Its loading capacity and operational flexibility earned the LCM-3 an important place in 20th-century military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is in 1\/35 scale, it pairs naturally with 1\/35 Shermans, vehicles and infantry figures for a beach landing diorama.
