A naval battle in the English Channel before the Invasion of Normandy

"They had quite a battle that night with the German destroyers. They drove one up on the rocks. . . . It’s very hard to paint night actions . . . star shells coming down . . . you felt naked when they put them up over you in a torpedo boat."

— Tony Law
