Although the US Navy’s contribution to ‘Overlord’ was not insubstantial it was the British Royal Navy that provided the greater number of ships for D-Day. Of the 4,126 landing craft of various types, 3,216 were British and manned by British crews. In fact, it was mostly British, not American vessels which led the assault forces into Omaha beach.
