message: The LCVP was not the only Higgins boat. Higgins Classic Boats These boats are very spectacular and deserve to be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.187.170 (talk) 03:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there an appropriate spot for it? This is, of course, the LCVP article. Would it be more appropriate to include this in the Higgins Industries page or the article on Higgins himself? --Thatnewguy (talk) 03:55, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Such a subject should have its own page, but maybe with a link in "See Also."152.121.19.13 (talk) 03:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Viet Nam-Era Monitors.

message: How does the boat re-float after driving up onto the beach? surely there is too much friction with the sand to simply reverse off? or does the boat sit sufficiently higher in the water after unloading that it can pull away?

thread_title: What Happens after the boat has landed?.

message: I believe this article could avoid a needless controversy by eliminating this line; after all, it makes no sense. A citation might be found saying the USMC thought it ideal for large operations, or some such. In different tactical situations the design of a particular boat may show well or ill. The evacuation from Dieppe would no doubt have been considerably worse with only LCVPs to rely upon. Stealthy raiders might not be enamored of a large sheet of face-hardened steel slapping the water to announce their presence. Now I'm being playful. Full width ramps were not at all an innovation - having been used at least as far back as the late 1890s.
