Those are naval craft designed to convey troops and equipment from ship to shore. They used to be called Ducks. The designation of DUKW is not a military acronym - the name comes from the model naming terminology used by GMC; the "D" indicates a vehicle designed in 1942, the "U" meant "utility us", the "K" indicated all-wheel drive and the "W" indicated two powered rear axles.
