Introduction
陸軍が開発・運用した、上陸支援用の小型戦闘艇です。AB艇とも呼ばれ、上部を装甲、旋回式砲塔や機銃砲座で武装、大発による上陸作戦を支援しました。強襲揚陸艦「神州丸」にも搭載され、「大発」など上陸用戦力と併せて運用することで高い対地戦闘能力を発揮します。
A small assault boat developed by the IJA to support landings. Also known as the AB-craft, it had an armoured superstructure with a rotating turret and machine gun platforms. It would support daihatsus during landing operations. It was loaded on board the amphibious assault ship, Shinshuu Maru. It will demonstrate great anti-installation power when used in conjunction with daihatsus during landing operations.
