Hi Jack


Please see attached photos from the excellent book US Landing Craft of WW2 Vol 1 by David Doyle. They are of LCM6 landing craft however they were virtually identical to the LCM3 but with an extra 6 ft added to the tank deck. The navigation lights are fitted to the forward upper edge of the conning position with a single white light possibly fitted atop of the ‘mast’. There were no searchlights fitted from the images I’ve seen.
