Amphibious warfare type

Amphibious warfare vessels include all ships having organic capability for amphibious warfare and which have characteristics enabling long duration operations on the high seas. There are two classifications of craft: amphibious warfare ships which are built to cross oceans, and landing craft, which are designed to take troops from ship to shore in an invasion.

S means Ship (big)
C means Craft (little)

We'll put it up here soon as a beta.


Cheers, and thanks for the help,
Mark
