EMPIRE JAVELIN, D-DAY ASSAULT SHIP: The Royal Navy Vessel that Landed the US 116th Infantry on Omaha Beach

EMPIRE JAVELIN, D-DAY ASSAULT SHIP: The Royal Navy Vessel that Landed the US 116th Infantry on Omaha Beach
by Kay-Bujak, Philip

1-245380

Empire Javelin, an American-built LSI (Landing Ship, Infantry) in Royal Navy service, played an important role on D-Day. She carried five companies of 1st Battalion 116th Regiment including the famous Bedford Boys over the Channel to France where the majority were killed that morning. Drawing heavily on first-hand accounts, covers the actions of the ship herself and of the landing craft launched from her in great detail. Reveals Empire Javelin's earlier life, from design and construction, through launch and training. Similarly, relates her service after that fateful day in June 1944, when she continued to ferry troops across the Channel for several months. The events surrounding her sinking in December 1944, either by U-boat or a mine, while laden with troops, are also fully examined. Contains 30 mono illustrations.
