History of the US engineering assault boats with trailer
This assault boat is a barge-style plywood boat with a square stern, a flat bottom and a slightly conical bow. Each boat was equipped with two hinge connections and a boat connection pin, so that two boats could couple together to form a convenient pontoon.
A crew of three male engineers4 is required to operate the boat. Two boats stowed together can transport the 37 mm anti-tank gun, its team of 5 men, at least 100 cartridges and an engineering team of 3 men.
