1/72 LST [D.I.Y.] - Starboard side LCVP mounted on its davit needs quite a bit of detail yet so it looks a little rough

Seventy-five years ago today, thousands of troops came ashore in the Normandy landings via LCVP Higgins boats, built from a design that originated in the Louisiana bayou with a brawling, hard-drinking industrialist who fought the Navy every step of the way to get his design approved. At the same time he was churning out the…

Here are some images of Trumpeter's 1/35 scale  WWII US Navy LCM (3) Landing Craft From Wikipedia" The Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) or Landing Craft Mechanical is a landing craft designed for carrying vehicles. They came to prominence during the Second World War when they were used to land troops or tanks during Allied amphibious assaults. There was no single design of LCM used, unlike the Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel (LCVP) or Landing Craft Assault (LCA) landing craft made by the US and UK respectively. There were several different designs built by the UK and US and by different manufacturers. The British Motor Landing Craft was conceived and tested in the 1920s and was used from 1924 in exercises. It was the first purpose built tank landing craft. It was the progenitor of all subsequent LCM designs.

Honor, glory, and unrivaled grace define Placement by Kimberly Van Sickle. The protagonist is young Charles George Trammel IV, a privileged lad whose background straddles both sides of the proverbial tracks. As Charles sits aboard a Higgins boat (Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel, or LCVP) on June 6, 1944, waiting to assault Normandy Beach, he reflects on the events that led him to this pivotal moment of his young life. Unlike many other men that day, Charles had the option to avoid this fate, but he chose to embrace it instead. With only minutes remaining before what could be the end of it all, the young man realizes there is nowhere else he would rather be as he discovers that honor cannot be bought - it must be earned instead. Placement by Kimberly Van Sickle is a rare story that highlights the unspoken noble aspects of life. The plot revolves around a teenage boy born into wealth and family connections just before World War II, who ultimately embodies the true definition of a man and a human being. Themes of sacrifice, love, honor, and the potential for goodness achieved through selflessness resonate throughout the story and left me feeling inspired. The character development is exceptional, with believable and diverse individuals that foster deep immersion in the narrative. The non-linear pacing works remarkably well as Kimberly keeps the tale together in a masterful display of storytelling. With a clear and concise writing style, Placement will appeal to fans of various genres, including historical fiction and coming-of-age stories.

Looking after the capital during the 2012 Olympics An amphibious assault ship, HMS Ocean is designed to deliver troops to the centre of the action by helicopter or by landing craft – we have six helicopter operating spots on our flight deck and our hangar can hold many more aircraft. We have our own Royal Marine assault squadron, 9ASRM, and we also carry four Mk5 landing craft vehicle and personnel (LCVP).Built on the Clyde by Kvaerner Govan, Ocean was a new approach to naval shipbuilding using commercial-build methods and techniques. The ship was launched in October 1995, and named by Her Majesty the Queen on February 20 1998. We were commissioned in September 1998 in our homeport of Devonport – the heart of the Navy’s amphibious fleet. Until the arrival of the Queen Elizabeth class carriers, HMS Ocean is the largest warship in the Navy’s surface fleet. Ocean deployed as part of the Cougar deployment with the Response Force Task Group (RFTG) back in April. After working up with the group she was diverted to Libya where she conducted Strike operations using Apache attack helicopters from 4 Regiment Army Air Corps in support of the NATO mission Op Unified Protector. The Apaches have been ably assisted during the operation by other helicopters embarked in HMS Ocean. These have included Sea King Mk 7 Airbourne Surveillance and Control (SKASaC) helicopters of 857 Naval Air Squadron conducting maritime surveillance operations and Lynx Mk 7s of 847 Naval Air Squadron providing force protection and logistic support, as well as US Air Force HH60 Pavehawks. The US airmen from the 56th Rescue Squadron based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, were on standby for personnel recovery or medical evacuation operations in the event of incidents involving any NATO aircrafts or ships.
