Why was the Higgins LCVP important?
The Higgins LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) was crucial during World War II for its role in amphibious assaults, enabling the rapid deployment of troops and supplies onto hostile shores. Its shallow draft allowed it to land directly on beaches, facilitating operations like the D-Day invasion at Normandy. The LCVP's design, which included a bow ramp for quick disembarkation, significantly enhanced the effectiveness and speed of naval landings, shaping modern amphibious warfare. Its impact extended beyond the war, influencing future naval craft designs.
What type of boats were used for the British soldiers to travel to France in world war 1?
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.

How long was a landing craft?
There is no one answer to this question. For the D-Day landings, there were several types of landing craft involved. The British and Commonwealth troops mainly used the Landing Craft Assault (LCA) which was about 41 1/2 ft long and carried up to 36 men. The American Rangers also used these craft to assault Pointe-du-Hoc. Many of the American troops came ashore in Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel (LCVP), the famed Higgins boats, which were 36 ft 3 inches long and carried 36 men or 12 men and a jeep. The Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) were also used. These craft were 45 ft long (LCM-2), 50 ft long (LCM-3), or almost 56 ft long (LCM-6). The LCM's carried between 60-100 troops. The Landing Craft Infantry Large (LCI-L) were about 158 1/2 ft long and carried 188-388 men. The DUKW, an amphibious truck, was 31 ft long and carried 25 troops. The Landing Craft Tank was between 112 to 119 ft long and carried 4 medium tanks. The Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT), the amtrac of the Marines which operated mainly in the Pacific, was 21 1/2 to 26 ft long and could carry between 20 to 30 Marines ashore.
