Two variants were developed: The Fairmile H LCI (S) This was the Landing Craft Infantry (Small) "LCI(S)" boat. The Fairmile H LCS (L) This was a Landing Craft Support (LCS) boat fitted with extra weapons to give fire support to landing craft particularly in being able to provide some anti-tank capability. This was achieved by the simple expediency of mounting a tank turret complete with its gun on the forward deck. The usual Fairmile construction techniques were used with all items prefabricated and supplied in kit form to boatyards for assembly and fitting out.
