What is the purpose of landing craft in sea?
The purpose is to get soldiers and equipment ashore where no harbor exists, as enemy harbors will be heavily defended and nearly impossible to capture, and invasion ships draw too much water to land forces on a beach. Because the landing craft are able to operate in very shallow water, they can take ground forces from the ships and quickly place them directly on a beach.
