580: 562: 1918:). Not only is that a specific designation of a GI line of foodstuffs, it's commonly known to a pretty big class of people (everyone in by Boy Scouts troop in the '80s knew what MREs were and what it stood for, as an anecdotal example; an obviously broader one would be everyone connected to the US military over the last several generations). It's not an article about ready-to-eat meals in general. Some of these articles are/should be about specific vehicles and some of them are/should be about classes of them with multiple different-named/designated exemplars covered at the same article. 1554:
tank each. I might have read about them in an account of the raid on Spitzbergen. I am still looking for that ref. It seems that the first LTCs were designated TLCs (Peter Bull is my source for this, he has a glossary on page 41 and the narrative suggests that by the time the mark 2s were built, the term LCT was in universal use). By the time the UK had significant numbers of landing craft for tanks, I am persuaded (by a range of sources) that those who used them on a daily basis invariably used the name that came from the US: "Landing Craft Tank".
485: 985:– I have checked book usage stats on each, and compiled these comparisons, where both the case and word order can be compared. Some are much more common with lowercase and normal word order (e.g. tank landing craft), but in others the capitalized modifier-last order is somewhat more common (e.g. Landing Craft Infantry). It's still better to adopt the "English" over the "military" phrasing, for recognizability to the typical reader. 937:– The military likes to list things by major category first, followed by modifier. The normal English way of referring to these things is actually more common in independent sources (some in all sources), and is more recognizable to most non-military readers than the backwards way that the military likes for list alphabetizing. None of these are proper names, as evidenced by frequent lowercase usage in sources. Example, from a 501: 626: 533: 763: 469: 517: 220: 354: 1229: 426: 415: 404: 393: 1262: 294: 251: 1089: 950: 1008: 382: 998: 988: 938: 1018: 1013: 1003: 1344: 1356: 1553:
No, the early British terminology was "Tank Landing Craft". We see this in the Symonds ref above and somewhere I have seen a ref that describes these early vessels. They were (?nearly) all lost in the Dunkirk evacuation (there weren't many of them) and if I remember rightly, they could only carry one

I suggest that the most common place for a person consulting Knowledge (XXG) to have seen a name for any of these vessels is in military history and memoirs. This is where you will find the military word order or, as pointed out above, just the initials. Given the commonness of the initials, it seems
1023: 1628:, they were "marks" of this design. (The ref Peter Bull discusses some differences, mostly concerning how comfortable the minimal crew accommodation was.) "Tank Landing Craft" was briefly and originally used by the British (not in the US), it was mostly a different design concept, and (in line with 1129:
Use of the normal military name also makes clear that we are talking about the exact class of craft, as described by the name given by the military, rather than a generic description that would be less precise. There is no hesitation in using the military name given to a class of aircraft (Spitfire,

For reasons given above. No expectation (and insufficient evidence) that a) any search by someone vaguely familiar with the subject will not use acronyms or their word order; and b) anyone completely unfamiliar with the subject will search in the proposed order rather than just the generic "landing

There are two changes being pushed here. Firstly the removal of capitalisation, for no reason other than (yet again) a simplistic and incorrect blanket change. This is to prioritise a too-literal reading of WP:MOS over WP:RS and WP:V. Secondly, that has then encouraged an invented rewording of the

I suspect this needs to be taken case-by-case, as the scope of articles may differ, and so may source usage with regard to particular terms. I will note that the fact that an acronym exists and has an expansion in "militarese word order" really has no implications, unless that expanded version has
1592:
No, I think the analogy stands up quite well. The LTC came in a number of "marks", not "classes". The similarity between the LCT mark 2 to the mark 4 is reasonably equivalent to that between the mark 1 Spitfire and the mark Vb. (In both instances there is substantial further development beyond the
993: 1328:
My understanding is that 'Landing Craft Mechanized' and 'Mechanised Landing Craft' and 'mechanized landing craft' all refer to various crafts of the US and UK that were also called LCM or L.C.M. And the sources I quoted from 1943 and 1944 make it clear that this is not a neologism, wiki or

Just read the Kindle edition of this book. The novel clearly states that the two ships caught in the storm are LCTs and not LSTs. Also, the description of the ships with uncovered tank decks fits LCTs. I propose this book description be moved from this article to the LCT article. Thoughts?
1443:. The "military word order" seems to be substantially embedded in Knowledge (XXG), which suggests that any change would be particularly large scale exercise. Given that it is the military who are those who talk about these craft most, it seems we really should take that into account.(e.g. 1057: 1812:, the military word order is unnatural and difficult to use in prose. In any case, there is no reason for these to be in title case, as they are not proper nouns regardless of the word order. Being commonly used in an acronym does not automatically make something a proper noun. 1751:
And of those first page of hits one is a run on where "vehicle and personnel" is the end of one line in a table and "Landing craft" is start of next, and another is an author saying " Funny how the army always gets things backward . Why not Vehicle and Personnel Landing Craft?"
1998:. The account given by a crew member on LCT858 is that when LCTs were carried as deck cargo, they needed preparation for the launching method used. This included disconnecting the propellor shafts from the engines. So "immediately after launch" is not right. The account (in 1609:
Also note that the article is organized around 9 different classes of LCT, and the one in the lead image has "TLC-124" painted on it. There's no doubt that "TLC" was the original designation, in spite of Andy's recent "dubious" tag for which I add a couple of book refs.

article, "Due to its tremendous over-the-beach capability, the LCAC can access more than 80% of the world's coastlines...Previously, landing craft had a top speed of approximately eight knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) and could cross only 17% of the world's beach area".

The first are proper name phrases. They are identifying particular classes, the US LCMs and also the UK's LCMs (which happened to have the regular linguistic variations between the two countries). And then there is the 'mechanized landing craft', which is a

marks 4 and 5b respectively.) These landing craft came off the production lines with little variability between members of one mark, just like aircraft marks. The individual members of classes of warship could have significant variations between them.

Landing Ship, Tank is technically correct name that gave rise to its commonly know LST designation and the same is true for others. I have never seen these ships with this newly proposed naming format, though it is common to see them as an acronym.

Many of the books and magazines that I've cited using the normal English word order and lowercase are official government and military documents, or magazines about and for military people. So I don't accept your point.
153: 476: 261: 1517:
The impression I get is that where there is mixed usage by one author it is a case of general descriptive language versus precise language – by analogy "fighter aircraft" versus, say, "Spitfires and Hurricanes".

Contrary to an earlier assertion, most of these are proper nouns describing specific models of ships or boats. If there's a valid grammar problem to some contributors, it can be solved with redirects.
