The Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach wharf in Anaheim Bay is scheduled to host a training visit by air cushion landing craft on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 20.
The jet-powered landing craft, also known as LCACs, ride above the ocean’s surface on a cushion of air. Because of their jet propulsion, LCACs are much louder than traditional Navy vessels.
After arriving at the wharf, the LCAC crews will conduct training with base personnel and then depart later in the day.
Air cushion landing craft last visited the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station in 2002 for a similar training event.
