Section I. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. Scope. This is an operator's manual for the 2000 Class Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) (See FIGURE
1-1). The LCU is designed to transport cargo from ships offshore to shore and to transport cargo to areas
that cannot be reached by ocean going vessels. The LCU can carry rolling stock (trucks, tanks, and other
vehicles) and dry cargo. The vessel can operate in coastal waters and on the open ocean. It can beach
and retract itself on remote coastlines and undeveloped port areas. Because of its shallow draft, the LCU
can carry cargo from deep drafted ships to shore in ports or areas too shallow for larger ships. The LCU
is also capable of deploying overseas under its own power.
