My father served on the #8. I have the ship's log and some other information about the ship that I have entered into the family tree on Ancestry.com. They were one of the lucky ones to have survived the war.

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

[@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

[@mk84ldb]

Ah, the P500
