The Fairmile H Landing Craft were British landing craft of the Second World War. Initially designed for commando type raids from a base in Britain as a way of probing enemy defenses and tying down additional troops, some were converted into fire support vessels. Two variants were developed: The Fairmile H LCI (S) This was the Landing Craft Infantry (Small) "LCI(S)" boat. The Fairmile H LCS (L) The usual Fairmile construction techniques were used with all items prefabricated and supplied in kit form to boatyards for assembly and fitting out.

  • La péniche de débarquement Fairmile type H était un modèle de péniche de débarquement britannique de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle a été initialement conçue pour des raids de type « commando » à partir de bases en Grande-Bretagne, pour sonder les défenses de l’ennemi et obliger celui-ci à maintenir des troupes statiques. Certains exemplaires ont été convertis en navires d’appui feu. (fr)

has abstract
  • The Fairmile H Landing Craft were British landing craft of the Second World War. Initially designed for commando type raids from a base in Britain as a way of probing enemy defenses and tying down additional troops, some were converted into fire support vessels. Two variants were developed: The Fairmile H LCI (S) This was the Landing Craft Infantry (Small) "LCI(S)" boat. The Fairmile H LCS (L) This was a Landing Craft Support (LCS) boat fitted with extra weapons to give fire support to landing craft particularly in being able to provide some anti-tank capability. This was achieved by the simple expediency of mounting a tank turret complete with its gun on the forward deck. The usual Fairmile construction techniques were used with all items prefabricated and supplied in kit form to boatyards for assembly and fitting out. (en)
