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.
