US Navy LCM-3, (Landing Craft Mechanized, Mark III), 23 tons empty. 8,631 of these vessels, also known as “Mike Boats” or “M Boats”, were built between 1942 and 1945. They were used extensively during WWII in Europe, including the D-Day landings, and throughout the Pacific Theater. • Capable of carrying one 30 ton tank, 60 troops or 27,000 kg of cargo and a crew of four. • Length 15.2 meters, beam 4.3 meters and powered by twin Gray Marine 64H9N Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines. • Armament was two .50-cal M2 Browning machine guns. This wreck is a find by Sea Scan Survey and is thought to be previously unknown to local divers. The ramp is down, the engines are still in place and the resident fish life is very tame.
