The LCA (Landing Craft Assault) is the basic landing craft of the British Army. Drawn and produced in 1939, this craft is the English equivalent of the American LCVP and can contain between 30 and 35 soldiers according to their equipment and missions.
The shell – in plywood – has a flat bottom, which allows a docking nearest dry sand. Armor plates may be added to ensure good resistance to the landing craft. But because of its weight, speed is its weak point. It very rarely reaches the theoretical 8 knots.
