| Description | 330-PSA-92-62 (USN 711046-D): Highlander. A new U.S. Navy landing craft with retractable hydrofoils was publicly demonstrated on the Potomac River by the Pentagon. The craft, powered by two Chrysler 275 horsepower engines, is capable of speeds in excess of 35 knots, three times the speed of its World War II counterpart. The LCVP(H), Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (Hydrofoil), has an overall length of 40 feet and maximum width (foils lowered) of 29 feet. Its foils, propeller shaft, and all controls, including the ramp door and steering mechanism, are hydraulically actuated and are semi-automatic, necessitating a minimum amount of effort and training for operation. Alternate mechanical systems are provided for all controls in the event of hydraulic failure. The craft will be assigned to the Navy’s amphibious forces to further evaluate the capability and suitability of hydrofoil boats as cargo-personnel carrier, and swimmer recovery craft. Photograph released April 16, 1962. (9/29/2015). |
