DUKW amphibious truck fitted with extensible ladders borrowed from the London fire brigades. 4 of these (named Swan 1-4) were landed with the Rangers at Point du Hoc. To assist in the mission, the ladders were fitted with a pair of Lewis light machine-guns at the top to help clear the cliff-top of any opposition.

Although three of the four arrived safely, the shoreline was too torn up by the preliminary bombardment to provide the necessary footing for the vehicles, so they were not used.

Here what looks like a turretless KV used to recover or tow heavy vehicles, apparently in Berlin.

The US developed the SWOD-Mark 9 Mod 0 Bat radar guided anti-ship bomb that used active radar homing to deliver a 1000 pound warhead. This weapon was used to destroy several Japanese ships near the end of the war.
