Hi,
It is clearly a Runnymede class LCU but I cannot really make the number, seems to end with a 4 but for the rest it is not readable.

[b][size=medium][color=000000][font=Georgia]Thanks. I was going to ask you where you got that information but I just found it via the web site I posted above. I never realized that the US Army had over 300 water craft in inventory - but I don't think the navy has anything to worry about.[/font][/color][/size][/b]

[b][size=medium][color=000000][font=Georgia]Thanks for that bit of information .... I did a little more research myself and came up with this web site:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/lcu-2000.htm

The landing craft shown above (based on the numbering system used by the Army) is LCU 2004 which makes this a LCU 2000 class landing craft.[/font][/color][/size][/b]
