American Amphibious Gunboats in World War II - A History of LCI Ships in the Pacific (Paperback, New)

As the United States began its campaign against numerous
Japanese-held islands in the Pacific, Japanese tactics required
them to develop new weapons and strategies. One of the most crucial
to the island assaults was a new group of amphibious gunboats that
could deliver heavy fire close in to shore as American forces
landed. These gunboats were also to prove important in the
interdiction of inter-island barge traffic and, late in the war,
the kamikaze threat. Several variations of these gunboats were
developed, based on the troop carrying one designated LCI(L). They
included three conversions of the LCI(L), with various combinations
of guns, rockets and mortars, and a fourth gunboat, based on the
same hull but designed as a weapons platform from the beginning. By
the end of the war the amphibious gunboats had proven their worth.
