The Daihatsu Class landing craft was a large motorized boat used
by the Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces during WWII. It had a catamaran
hull and bow ramp that was lowered to disembark cargo and troops.
It was
powered by a diesel engine and had a relatively long range for its size. Two
Daihatsu landing craft are located in Tanapag Harbor, although the circumstances
surrounding their loss are unknown.
