LANDING CRAFT and SUPPLY BARGE (USS NAVY)

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Apr 17, 2018 2:43 am

A few stamps shows us landing craft used during the landing at Tulagi on 07 August 1942. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of ... 3Tanambogo

On this small landing craft I have not any details, but most probably launched from troop-transport ships used during the landing.

The 1992 stamp issued by the Solomon Islands shows on the 80c a loaded supply barge on her way to the beach.

Solomon Islands 1992 30c sg734, scott 727a, 80c sg 742, scott 728e. 2005 $2.50 sg?, scott?
Grenada 1990 45c sg 2111, scott 1167.
