Titolo: Sigle mezzi da sbarco

Cia a tutti, nel libro di hastings sullo sbarco in Normandia ho visto tra
le note una lista di tipi di mezzi da sbarco, ma ci sono solo le sigle,
qualcuno molto gentile potrebbe spiegarmele e dirmi come furono utilizzate
e quando. E la differenza tra un LSI e un LCI ad esempio, questi due li
conosco Landing ship/craft infantry. Potevano entrambi arrivare sulla
spiaggia?
