LAV-25

The LAV-25 (Light Armoured Vehicle) is an eight-wheeled amphibious armoured reconnaissance vehicle used by the ONI Navy. The LAV-25 is considered both an Infantry Fighting Vehicle and lightly armoured personnel carrier. As an amphibious vehicle, LAVs have the ability to "swim" but are limited to non-surf bodies of water (Oceans). While engaged in amphibious operations, the maximum speed of a LAV is approximately 12km/h using equipped propellers.
