There were 11,000 ships and boats taking part in the landings. Most of the bigger ships had to anchor a mile or two off the French coast. Many of these ships carried 24-36 'Higgins boats' in their lifeboat davits. These "Higgins boats" each carried a platoon (about 32 men ) ashore. Larger LST's carried 4-6 tanks and trucks as well as about 100 soldiers.
