It is June 1944 and the crew of the USS Lawrence find themselves in the English Channel, preparing to take part in the Allied invasion of France. In the space of a few weeks they steer the Lawrence through a range of assignments that call for all their skill: conducting diversionary maneuvers of the Pas del Calais, rescuing Allied air crews under fire from the Luftwaffe fighters, and dashing into mine-choked waters to silence the German guns pounding Allied landing craft at Omaha Beach. Normandy brings to life all the danger and excitement of destroyer combat in European waters.
