Marine Corps unveils new amphibious combat craft for 'deep strikes'



The Marine Corps is preparing to deploy new BAE-built Amphibious Combat Vehicles by 2021, as a way to bring new assault strategy and tactics into the modern era. The new amphibious attack ship-to-shore combat vehicle is intended to massively expand mission length for amphibious assaults well beyond the current AAV - Corps Amphibious Assault Vehicle.
