סיכום מפרופלקיטי על המשמעותיות מ1945:
Significant amphibious combat landings since 1945 have been relatively rare compared to the large-scale operations of World War II, but several notable examples exist across various conflicts and regions. Below is a data-driven overview of such operations:
Major Amphibious Landings in Combat Since 1945
Operation/Conflict Date Participants Objective/Outcome Reference
Inchon Landing (Korean War) September 15, 1950 US/UN forces vs. North Korea Successful large-scale assault, allowed recapture of Seoul.
Suez Crisis November 1956 UK, France, Israel vs. Egypt Sea-borne landings at Port Said; tactical victory, political withdrawal.
Vietnam War (Operation Starlite, Deckhouse series, others) 1960s–1970s US vs. North Vietnam/Viet Cong Multiple small-scale landings; varied tactical successes.
Falklands War May–June 1982 UK vs. Argentina San Carlos Water landings enabled British reclamation of islands.
Grenada (Operation Urgent Fury) October 25, 1983 US-led coalition vs. Grenadian/Airport forces Rapid seizure of beaches and airfields.
Persian Gulf War January–February 1991 US-led Coalition vs. Iraq Largest amphibious threat since WWII; mainly a demonstration that pinned Iraqi divisions, but a combat landing was prepared.
Iraq War (Battle of Al-Faw Peninsula) March 20, 2003 UK Royal Marines, US Marines, Polish GROM vs. Iraq Seized key oil facilities, prevented sabotage.
Invasion of Anjouan (Comoros) March 25, 2008 African Union, Comorian Gov. vs. Anjouan Separatists Amphibious assault ousted separatist regime.
Battle of Kismayo (Somalia) September 28–October 1, 2012 Somali National Army/Kenyan Defense Forces vs. Al-Shabaab Amphibious assault liberated port city.
Additional Notes and Data
Casualty rates for post-1945 operations, as reported in one comparative study, reveal that:
Inchon (1950): 4% casualty rate among landing forces.
Suez (1956): 1% casualty rate among landing forces.
Operation Starlite (Vietnam, 1965): 4% casualty rate.
Falklands (1982): 11% casualty rate.
Grenada (1983): 1% casualty rate.
Since World War II, amphibious landings have evolved from large-scale invasions (as seen in Normandy and Iwo Jima) to often smaller, rapid-response or special forces operations.
"An amphibious assault was carried out by Royal Marines, U.S. Marines, and units of the Polish special forces when they landed at the Al-Faw Peninsula on 20 March 2003 during the Iraq War."
"During the Persian Gulf War, Assault Craft Unit 5 was able to position U.S. Marine and naval support off the coast of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia... This force was composed of 40 amphibious assault ships, the largest such force to be assembled since the Battle of Inchon."
Summary:
While the scale of amphibious warfare has generally declined since 1945, it remains a relevant combat capability, evidenced by successful operations in major conflicts including Korea, the Falklands, the Gulf Wars, and various regional interventions. The amphibious threat alone has also proven strategically useful, as seen in the Gulf War where a large amphibious force fixed Iraqi troops in place and influenced the campaign's course without a large direct landing.
