Status: offline 		As OP said, LCI(G) carries a surface to surface rocket (4.5" Rocket, Weapon #84) as its main armament.
These rockets have never worked.

Previous experiments showed that they might be fixable, but could then result in rockets usable for ship combat as well:

Status: offline 		Having said that, the effect of fire support is more on the rear area units than the combat elements. So while 21 casualties isn't a big number, it does suggest the rockets are landing and suggests the AV score for the Japanese defence has been degraded.
