What is the stated range of the LCU?

• A. 1000 nautical miles
• B. >400 nautical miles
• C. 50 nautical miles
• D. <100 nautical miles

Answer: (B)

The range is defined in the LCU’s official specifications as greater than 400 nautical miles. This means, under normal operating conditions and with a standard load, the vessel can travel more than 400 nm on a single fuel load. The other numbers don’t match the published figure: 50 nm and under 100 nm are well below the stated capability, while 1000 nm exceeds it. In practice, range varies with speed and load, but the documented figure used for planning is over 400 nm.
