The largest gathering of ships, personnel, and air cover still remains the Normandy landings on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Over 195,700 personnel in over 5,000 ships (over 6000 counting ancillary and landing craft) participated; 160,000 troops on the ground, and over 15,000 Airborne troops. It also the largest amphibious invasion in history.
The low overcast weather prevented close air support at the beaches, and led to inaccurate bombing during the preceding hours. Navy ships provided shore bombardment prior to and during the invasion.
