The Cay Canbahd Class Landing Craft, Is an Air Cushion Logistic Vehicle Transport (ACLVT) is designed to sealift landing assault units (such as troops or tanks) from equipped/non-equipped vessels to non-equipped shore, as well as transport and plant mines.
The Cay Canbahd is a high-speed, over-the-beach fully amphibious landing craft capable of carrying three main battle tanks (up to 131 tonnes), or ten armoured personnel carriers with 140 troops (up to 115 tonnes), or up to 500 troops (with 360 troops in the cargo compartment). At full displacement the ship is capable of negotiating up to 5-degree gradients on non-equipped shores and 1.6m-high vertical walls. The Cay Canbahd remains seaworthy in conditions up to Sea state 4.
High strength and floatability of the craft are provided by a rectangular pontoon, the main load-carrying part of the ship's hull. The superstructure built on the pontoon is divided into 3 compartments with two longitudinal bulkheads: combat materiel compartment in the midsection fitted with tank ramps, and outboard sections housing main and auxiliary propulsion units, troop compartments, living quarters, and NBC protection systems. To improve working conditions in the battle stations, troop compartments and living quarters, they are fitted with air-conditioning and heating-systems, sound/heat-insulating coatings, and structures made of vibrodamping materials. The ship provides normal conditions for the crew to take meals and rest.
Personnel are protected against effects of weapons of mass destruction with airtight sealing of combat stations, crew and troop compartments, as well as individual gas masks and protection suits. The ship is also protected from influence mines with the horizontal winding to compensate for the ship's and the transported materiel's magnetic fields. The central command post and device compartments are strengthened with alloy armour.
