ACU 4 T
hey can carry more than 25 people, fit almost any piece of rolling stock the Marine Corps has, hold up to 380,000 lbs and have 17,000 hp. They cost $32 million, can land on more than 70% of the beaches around the world. They most importantly play a vital role in the mission of the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3). They are the landing craft air cushions (LCAC), operated by Assault Craft Unit 4 (ACU 4). MCSN Derek Paumen
