A few days ago we posted about the boats Washington used to cross the Delaware.  Designs have changed since then,  Here is a wonderful animation by Raphaël Pierrot of the new French Navy  landing craft, the engin de débarquement amphibie rapide (EDA-R), which is a catamaran which provides the performance of an aircushion landing craft at the cost of a conventional landing craft.
