- Equipment:
- The DUKW (D-model year 1942, U-amphibian, K-all wheel drive, W-dual rear axles) is boat-like vehicle with a hollow airtight body. It was designed to carry 25 soldiers and their equipment, an artillery piece, or 5,000 pounds of general cargo and ammunition. On land, it can go up to 50 miles per hour - fast enough for touring purposes. The United States produced 20,000 DUKWs during World War II, and they first saw use in the invasion of Sicily in 1943. Later, they played an import role in the invasion of Normandy.
Newer vehicles have been added to the fleet called Hydra-Terras. These vehicles feature a positive buoyancy foam filled compartments and v shaped hulls to cut through water and all vehicles have been retrofitted with soft cushioned seats.
There are no restrooms aboard the vehicle.
There is no air-conditioning, but the vehicle is open to the air (it has a roof still) and allows for the Hawaiian tradewinds to breeze through the vehicle.
