Historical Overview

The Type 2 Ka-Mi was the first Japanese amphibious tank to be produced in series and was used mainly during the Pacific battles between 1942 and 1945. The vehicle was developed for marine landings and island battles. Its buoyancy was guaranteed by detachable pontoons, which enabled it to cover significant distances at sea and land directly on beaches. Ka-Mi tanks played a noticeable role, among others, in the Battle of Saipan as well as in operations on the Marshall and Mariana Islands.
