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.
