Ed, I saw plenty of movies with LCMs in them. I also got seasick and threw up in one going ashore at Inchon. I just never heard one called an M-boat before.

They were also commonly called "Mike Boats." We used a lot in the west coast islands to move partisans and supplies because these boats were made to be grounded so could sit on the mudflats if the tide went out before it could get off the beach.
