From the rear cover:-
D-Day Ships is a superb appraisal of the Normandy landings of June 1944, history's largest amphibious undertaking, and a unique account of the naval contribution to the Allied effort as well as a detailed analysis of all the ships involved. In addition to the ships themselves the author describes the strategic and tactical planning, the Channel voyage, the landings on both American and British beaches, the consolidation of the landings, the Mulberry Harbour and the great storm, and analyses the invasion from the perspective of the development of amphibious operations throughout World War II.
With its detailed listings of ships - landing craft, bombardment ships and support vessels - its clear narrative, and extensive maps, photographs and line drawings, it is the best available account of the landings for the naval historian and enthusiast
