LCVP – Historical Background

LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel), also known as the Higgins boat, was an American landing craft widely used during World War II. It played a key logistical role in the Allied invasion of Normandy (D-Day) on June 6, 1944, as well as in other operations in the Pacific and Europe. The LCVP transported soldiers, vehicles, and equipment directly onto beaches, greatly increasing the effectiveness of amphibious operations by US, British, and Allied forces.
