''Daihatsu-class landing craft, or "Daihatsu" for short. In modern times, it's called a "landing craft" and used for landing troops and materiel. Daihatsu could be operated from amphibious assault ships and the like. It was known as the "Truck of the Sea". This model was armed with field artillery and machine guns, a literal "Armed Daihatsu". It is best at supporting landing operations but has very limited effectiveness against PT boats. There were plenty of other versions modified with field upgrades. | ''Daihatsu-class landing craft, or "Daihatsu" for short.
