The DUKW
« on: 04 Sep 2002, 04:49:44 »
I'd like to see a DUKW. It's a WWII-era amphibious transport truck. It can carry about the same amount of cargo as a 5-ton truck. Some of them had .50s mounted on them as well. This would be a great replacement for the M113 in WWII missions. I'm thinking it could also be used to resupply troops and armor.

The British Royal Marines still have some so its current, although I do know the ones up here are not for front line use but at a trials base.

At ATTRM (Amphibious Trials Training Royal Marines) Instow they have a DUKW, its in Gray, and I know, and I talked to the guys who works on it this morning...............

Now I dont know of any other vehicle that looks like a DUKW, and as a WW2 Wargamer I know what I am looking at.....

I suspect that this might be one of a few still used at the trials units..
