LCAC(L)
Amphibious hovercraft
The Landing Craft Air Cushion (Light), or LCAC(L), is a small amphibious hovercraft able to transverse both land and water. Like all amphibious landing craft in the Royal Navy, they were operated by the Royal Marines to transport troops or equipment from ship to shore during an amphibious landing.
Four LCACs were in service up to the early 2020s, with pennant numbers C21, C22, C23 and C24.[1][2] However, these craft were reported laid up as of 2023.[3]
