Although many 78 ' Higgins and 80 ' Elco PT boats were likely delivered from the manufacturer in such a paint scheme, all historical records indicate that the real PT 109 and the other boats in its squadron were painted green in order to better blend into their daytime anchorages or moorings adjacent to island jungles at forward operating bases.

Higgins also manufactured PT boats, and produced the first American airborne lifeboat, the model A-1 lifeboat.

During World War II, Higgins ' industrial plants turned out a variety of equipment for the Navy: Landing Craft, Motor Torpedo Boats ( PT Boats ), Torpedo tubes, Gun Turrets, and Smoke Generators.

( Wooden Boat Forum ) During the war, both Elco and Higgins came up with stepped hull designs which achieved significant increases in top speed, (" ElcoPlane " & " Higgins Hellcat ") but the Navy rejected them for full production due to their increased fuel consumption and other considerations.

The U. S. Landing Craft Vehicle / Personnel ( LCVP ), also known as a Higgins Boat, was a more flexible variant of the LCPL with a wide ramp — it could carry 36 troops or a small vehicle such as a Jeep, or a corresponding amount of cargo.
