Bombing raids and V-1 flying bombs ("doodlebugs") were experienced frequently. The Seabees named their LVTs "doodlebugs". Bugtussle was so named on account of doodlebugs being frequent there. The LVTs were nicknamed "doodlebugs". The class was also sometimes called "mucky ducks" or "doodlebugs" or even "flying pigs". These doodlebugs were used to plow, make hay, haul logs, and pull out stumps. Doodlebugs sometimes pulled an unpowered trailer car, but were more often used singly.
