Small, fast Higgins landing-boats of the United Stales navy coining inshore protected by a smoke-screen. The centre craft at the back in the top picture is built to carry a tank. In the bottom picture the ramp of the tank boat is down and the tank is starting to splash beachwards, to be followed at once by the navy riflemen in the landing-boats on either side. These little boats are well armoured and highly manoeuvrable, and can travel at 16 knots ivith 24 men on board, together ivith 50001b of equipment. (Evening Post, 04 June 1942)
