Not only landing "to take ground", but other purposes?
Merriam-Webster defines the term as "a detachment of a ship's company organized for emergency or ceremonial duty ashore". This Wikipedia article, for some reason, assumes that all landing parties are territory-grabbers. Not true. Equinox ◑ 21:09, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
