Churchill Amphibious Tank

The standard Churchill was an infantry tank, while deep-wading preparations or experimental flotation arrangements served different purposes. A vehicle able to cross a water obstacle under specific preparation is not necessarily a freely swimming tank. Deep-wading tanks used sealing and air-intake arrangements to cross water while remaining supported by the ground. That differs from a tank floating under its own buoyancy. The Churchill’s well-established AVRE and Crocodile variants do not prove that every depicted swimming conversion was fielded. Amphibious development posed particular problems of buoyancy, steering, propulsion, and emergency recovery. Every extra fitting added weight to a vehicle already designed around heavy armor and tracked movement on land.
