    A military Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft is approaching or landing on a sandy beach, generating large water sprays on both sides. The vessel appears to be a U.S. Navy LCAC, identifiable by its gray military paint scheme and characteristic twin propeller shrouds. The scene depicts an amphibious landing operation with beach dunes and sea grass visible in the foreground.

    A landing craft air cushion vehicle with Assault Craft Unit 4 embarked aboard USS Bataan (LHD-5) approaches the coast during a ship to shore deployment as part of their PHIBRON/MEU integration training at Onslow Beach, North Carolina Sept. 16, 2016. During a ship to shore, LCAC’s vacate the ship from miles off the coast to come ashore and transport Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and their equipment back to the vessel. PMINT will help Marines become accustom to working and living with their Navy counterparts on ship, preparing them for their upcoming deployment.

    A military hovercraft (LCAC - Landing Craft Air Cushion) is operating in shallow coastal waters near a beach, generating a large spray of water and mist. In the foreground, a partially blurred sign reads 'KEEP OFF DUNES' with an 'ATTENTION' notice below it. The image appears to be taken at dusk or dawn given the soft, warm lighting conditions.
    A military landing craft air cushion (LCAC) operation is underway, likely on a beach or ship well deck at dusk or dawn. A silhouetted figure stands atop a military vehicle, using hand signals to direct the loading or unloading of equipment. Two LCAC hovercraft with large turbine fans are visible flanking the scene.
    A military amphibious landing craft (LCAC - Landing Craft Air Cushion) has beached on a sandy shore, with its bow ramp lowered. A camouflage-painted HMMWV (Humvee) military vehicle is in the process of being offloaded down the ramp onto the beach. The scene appears to be a military amphibious assault or training exercise conducted during daylight hours.
    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion designated LCAC-2 is beached on a sandy shore with its bow ramp deployed. A military cargo truck (appears to be an M35-series 2.5-ton truck) is in the process of either loading onto or offloading from the hovercraft. The scene appears to be a amphibious landing or logistics exercise conducted at dusk or dawn.
    Two military personnel are using signal flags to guide a Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) onto a sandy beach. The hovercraft, marked with the number '88', is generating significant exhaust smoke and dust as it approaches the shore. This appears to be a military amphibious landing operation or training exercise.
