Despite the Latin American continent's very long coastlines, with some countries having more than 3000 km of coastline, coastal defences are not widely-developed, and often rely on legacy arlittery and some indigenous ideas.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the last four decades, the main factors influencing amphibious operations have altered, and these have had a bearing on the design of amphibious ships. In particular, the capability of shore-based coastal defence has increased by several magnitudes. Consequently, frontal amphibious assaults against well-defended positions, of the type executed during WW II, would, in all probability, not be contemplated in view of the likelihood of high casualties. Whatever be the objective, certain common conditions would need to be ensured for the success of the operation, and the design of modern amphibious ships has been driven by the need to meet these conditions.
