During amphibious military operations, Landing Vehicles Tracked (LVT) navigated water primarily through the propulsion of their specialized continuous track shoes, which featured paddle-like grousers designed to act as marine paddles when rotating. While some later models incorporated specialized propellers or water jets for open-ocean transit, the tracks themselves provided the primary thrust required to drive the heavy armored vehicle through surf zones, across coral reefs, and through flooded inland rivers during amphibious assaults.
