At 15:37 time mark, is that the USS North Carolina or USS Washington class battleships??

[@TokyoSamurai-fb6or]

I used this information for war thunder, so far, it’s worked (In War Thunder btw)

[@kurtschlick3891]

Dan who was the camera man that filmed the USS Brain?

[@mk84ldb]

Ah, the P500

[@ponybottle]

Were any LCL's used in the Normandy landings? - I always got the impression there was no maritime close artillery support available on those beaches

[@64MDW]

No. All the LCS Ls were assigned to the Pacific. There was close fire support at all the Normandy beaches provided by the RN, USN, and RCN as well as representative ships from the French, Polish and Norwegian navies.
