Once you start looking you find more.

It appears most British built vehicles could not be used in amphibious landings. All 4x2 and 6X4 (Except Scammell) were only suitable for dock landings or waiting with the barge stuck like a beached whale until the tide went out to drive across the dry sand.

To show there are military morons throughout the ages we have the wave heights for various vessels. It must have been very disconcerting for barge skippers to be told to go back out to sea by surveyors standing up to their necks in water with their theodolites. "You can't land an LCT (4) as your wave height limit is 2' 11" and we just measured the seventh wave at
3' 1 5/8" "
