The Neptune Amphibious Tank -- "Neptune" putting out to sea. This British tracked amphibious vehicle is a ship-to-shore load carrier capable of self-propulsion in any sea, able to land on a beach through heavy surf, and to move across country. "Neptune" can take a pay load of approx; four tons and has a large unobstructed hold, which makes it particularly suited for the carriage of a wide variety of equipment, including the 17-pounder anti-tank and 25 pounder filed guns, vehicles, casulaties, and stores. "Neptune" is equipped with navigation lights in addition to normal road lamps, a wireless set operated by the driver's mate. October 27, 1945. (Photo by Central Press Photos Ltd.).
