The Brits developed their own Landing Craft Tank (LCT) MK1 and II in 1940. Those were used in early British landing operations. After the US entered the war the MK III, IV, V and VI were jointly developed and built by the US and Britain from 1942 onward. The Brits developed the Landing Craft Machinery LCM in 1924 it was upgraded many times and used through WWII adopted by the US Army, the LCM was primarily for delivering large amounts of cargo to the beaches.
The USMC used the Higgins Boat, LCP-Landing Craft Personnel and LCVP (Vehicles and Personnel in the Pacific theatre). The only difference was the width of the ramp, the LCVP having a wider ramp. The British/Australians purchased some number of LCPL's-Landing Craft Personnel Large from the Higgins factory in Louisiana.
