Hey all.
I need info, if you have on the LVTP(X). Little information is found on the web. Even the Marine Historical sites have little information on it. It appears to have been developed by FMC and was competing against the current AAV for the role. As a side note, I do realize that it was a modified M-113 (Sparks loved it), I'm aware that its sporting a 90mm gun in its turret...what I don't know is water speed, and why it was rejected by the Marines. I suspect it had something to do with the number of troops carried but I'd like to be sure.
