- Apologies as this must seem like an ignorant question to some....

- I noticed while watching CNN what seemed to be like giant
- hovercraft ferrying troops and trucks from the ships to
- shore.

- Are these in fact hovercraft? When did they first come into use?
-
- [ mod note -- They sure are -- LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion). Don't
