[edit] Right word?
Amphibious vehicles are slowly being supplanted by air cushion vehicles, such as hovercraft, in many modern militaries. At first I thought supplanted but a mispelling of supplemented but checked and there is a word supplanted which means chiefly of things: To take the place of, succeed to the position of, supersede.[1]. I still wonder whether supplemented would be more appropriate as that would mean that hovercraft were used in addition to wheeled amphibious vehicles rather than replacing them completely? Perhaps just being too pedantic. --jmb 09:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Confused focus
This article is written as if it originally covered military vehicles, and civilian coverage was added in, or vice versa - it's hard to tell which without checking the history first. Alos, there are so many major sections that it makes browsing the article a bit cumbersome. Splitting it into military and civilian article is one way to help this, but not the only way.

[edit] Addition of tank material
Sorry to drop in the (dubiously written) amphibious tank material into your very well written article, but I am desperately trying to clean up tank and I think this is the correct home for it. Please edit and shred as necessary / desired. Dhatfield (talk) 09:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
