[StartQuote] Another of the photos that Jerry came across at NARA is this one: [IMaGe]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i204/alross2/DSC00022.jpg[/IMaGe] I was happy to see it because it is a clear shot of two of the RNN boats (H-7 & H-8). There is a similar shot in Jerry Strahan's book on Higgins, but it is not as clear. What caught my eye, though, was the boat in the middle of the photo, CG 7206: [IMAGE]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i204/alross2/cg7206.jpg[/IMAGE] Based on the shape of the bow and the charthouse, this is clearly a Higgins design, is about 45'-50' long (the landing craft alongside are 36' LCVs), and has an alpha-numeric hull number that is consistent with USCG practice of the period. The stern is quite radiused and the long trunk cabin is unusual. I couldn't find it in Scheina's US COAST GUARD CUTTERS AND CRAFT OF WORLD WAR II, so will be sending the CG Historian an email to inquire. Al Ross [EndQuote]
