we think of landing craft as being tools of war, being used to deliver tanks onto beaches. On the Pacific islands they are a lifeline. They can carry vehicles and containers, and run up sandy beaches to be hand unloaded by willing locals.
This one sat beached for the whole time I was on kiribati, but had crew living on it, and just as I left they started loading containers onto it.
I took a look around it one afternoon, and I wouldn't trust it to float due to rust.
