Flat-bottomed landing craft

Abstract

This landing craft is capable of transporting heavy tracked and/or wheeled vehicles and troops from amphibious assault ships to beachheads or piers. A flat bottom has an unique design using Bernoulli's principle. The benefits are good speed, efficiency, durableness, and relatively economical and low noise.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A craft with a bottom for water and having an upper cargo bay and comprising:
 a) many channels are constructed into said bottom throughout its length;   b) many edges are adjacent to said channels and can cut through the water with no resistance, and   c) whereby the said channels and edges obey Bernoulli's principle under said craft's bottom.   
     
     
         2 ) A craft with a flat bottom for a water environment and having an upper cargo bay as claimed in  claim 1 , said channels further comprising surfaces of various geometrical shapes; whereby said channels obey Bernoulli's principle when water is passing through said channels.
