The LCI and its vehicle-delivery counterpart, the Landing Ship, Medium were widely used by the allies during World War II. Later, the hulls of these ships were used as the basis for a fire support ship. While the landing ships were phased out after the Korean War, some fire support craft remained in use throughout the Vietnam War. This book tells the developmental and operational history of this important tool of American amphibious military strategy that spanned three wars. </div> <div class="bookPadding">  Contents <ul style="margin-left: 20px;"> <li>Introduction </li> <li>Design and Development </li> <li>Operational History </li> <li>Further Reading</li> </ul> </div>  <div class="bookPadding bookText"> Paperback; June 2009; 48 pages; ISBN: 9781846034350 </div> <LI>SKU: OSPV157 <LI>Ordering History: 2-S2 <LI>Date First Stocked: 4/24/2009 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://store.spruebrothers.com/Category23" TITLE="Books / Magazines">Books / Magazines</A> / <A HREF="http://store.spruebrothers.com/Category159" TITLE="Naval">Naval</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product9010 TITLE="Classic Warship Publications -
