Thangs man, but ya still din't answer ma question: WTH is a 'tuna boat'?
Don't be bringing any apricots on board, either...
From Tarawa to Saudi Arabia, Apricots and AmTracs just don't mix.
Wasn't there a Brazillian attempt to do something similar, i.e. make an Amtrak out of an M113?
The outboard takes the cake!
Mount the turret from the Saladin or the M113 FSV on the LVT(A)-1 or LVT(A)-4 to create a slightly different fire support vehicle.
Good idea. You could also use the aluminium turret from the Scorpion/Scimitar: the lower weight would probably be an advantage. or another idea: how about a "super" USMC version with a Chaffee turret?
