She also made eleven crossings of the English Channel carrying personnel and supplies to the Normandy beaches in support of the D-Day invasion. After the war, she was “mothballed” and laid up in the Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, north of San Francisco. 35.5″ (long) x 5″ (wide) x 10 (high) or 90cm (long) x 12cm (wide) x 25cm (high).
