This Landing Vehicle, Tracked (LVT) was one among a family of amphibious warfare and landing craft vehicles. Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship-to-shore operations, they evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles. The types were known as ""amphtrack,"" ""amtrak,"" and ""amtrac,"" (portmanteaus of ""amphibious tractor""), and also ""alligator"" or ""gator.” The LVT (A)-1 variant was the first infantry support LVT, with an armored hull and fully-rotating turret with a 37 mm Gun M6 (L/56.6) and two rear-mounted machine guns. The type had a maximum ground speed of 20 mph. Multiple American manufacturers built 509 units during the war. By mid-1944, all LVT(A)-1s had been replaced by much more capable 75 mm gun armed LVT(A)-4s. All units of both types saw service in the Pacific theater.
