Some 6,939 naval vessels participated in the operation, of which 4,126 were landing ships or landing craft and, by the end of D-Day, 156,115 personnel had been put ashore on the five invasion beaches, or had been dropped by glider and parachute. Some 18 months in the planning, ‘Neptune’ was the largest such operation the world had ever seen, involving Allied land, sea and air forces. The invasion of Europe was codenamed ‘Operation Overlord’, with the initial phase dubbed ‘Neptune’. The lessons that were learned in Italy served the Allies well during the invasion of Normandy, which began on 6 June 1944 (D-Day). and the Allied superiority in men, equipment and materiel ensured the right result. The following year, the invasions of Sicily and the Italian mainland served as proving grounds for the concept of an air-supported amphibious assault. However, it was believed that the German U-Boat menace had first to be neutralised, and that the Allies must have virtual air superiority.
