The LCAC (landing craft, air cushion) hovercraft is a high speed, fully amphibious craft capable of carrying a 75 ton payload from ship to shore and across the beach. This lets it reach more than 70 percent of the world's coastline compared to only 17% with conventional landing craft.

Built by Textron Marine and Avondale Gulfport Marine, LCAC was first deployed in 1987. The craft is able to travel over light ice and open water (if the seas are fairly calm). LCAC has also been involved in several minesweeping exercises and is effective in very shallow water.

Four detachments of LCACs consisting of eleven craft supported Operation Desert Storm in January 1991. As of 1995, 82 LCACs had been delivered to the Navy.
