The 788th was one of five U.S. tank battalions that were switched to amphibian tractors. Their vehicles were the new Amphibian Tractors (LVTs, or Landing Vehicle Tracked) called amphtracks, amtracs or amtracks.

Amph-tracs are very sluggish afloat and do not handle with the ease or accuracy of screw driven craft. This characteristic often led to the LVT's crashing angularly into the hull of some vessel or pontoon barge when coming alongside, resulting in a sizable hole being punched through the hull just a few inches above the water line.
