Which point is not a waypoint from shore to ship for LCAC operations?

The Craft Launch Area (CLA) is not considered a waypoint in the operational context between shore and ship in LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) operations. The other points listed, including the Craft Landing Zone (CLZ), Craft Control Point (CCP), and Craft Holding Area (CHA), serve specific navigational and operational roles during the deployment and retrieval of LCAC craft.

The Craft Landing Zone is designated for the actual landing of the LCAC on the beach or shore, while the Craft Control Point is a designated area used for the management and control of movement during operations. The Craft Holding Area is where the LCACs may wait before proceeding to either land or return to the ship, ensuring they are managed efficiently in relation to other operational traffic. These waypoints are crucial for coordinating the LCAC's operations effectively, ensuring safety and efficiency in marine operations.
