Do AK's load and unload faster? Just Troops, equipment and supplies or ressources too?

Unloading rules, from the manual:

6.3.3.3.2.1 OVER THE BEACH
Beaching Craft. Beaching craft unload completely in one turn.
»» Attack Amphibious Ships. (APA/AKA plus LSD, LSV and British equivalents) in Amphibious TFs, unload at a Rate of 3000 points per ship, per turn.
»» Regular Transport Ships. (Commissioned Naval AP/AK) in Amphibious TFs, unload at a Rate of 600 points per ship per turn.
»» Merchant Ships. (xAP/xAK) in Amphibious TFs, unload at a Rate of 250 points per ship per turn.
»» Special Japanese early war bonus of 1200 for all AP/AK and xAP/xAK types.

An AK unloads more than twice faster than a xAK; if you are playing Japan, I think there are only 2 LSD available (one at the start, one later on). so you really need to convert AKs if you plan to maintain offensives after the early war bonus ends
