I'd just cost them higher than a normal boat and allow them to
disappear.  
Unless you want to get into FMA naval, I'd just rule that ground combat 
vehicles aren't equipped for ASW.

The latter, I believe.	Same as with aircraft.

If not, make 'em.  I'm considering HR's for oversized aerospace to
replace 
the rules for interface landers.

I dunno.  OO suggests distinguishing between the two.

I'd go with light arty.

Maybe to distinguish between deep hulled boats and flat-bottomed LC?

My guess is if you hit them in the air, it's simulated by the DS rules 
regarding AA vs dropping units.  If it hits the ground, the ground
forces 
are deployed and the lander itself becomes a non-factor.  This is one of
the 
reasons for the Oversized Aerospace rules I'm working on.

Floating or space?

I think you have to build them as watercraft vehicles for water AB's,
and 
pay for interface for your legs for aerospace AB's.
