This must be one of the first recorded instances of a battle between a ship at sea" and tanks oh land. ' - American ships roam offshore like floating forts. Further up the coast one village was literally captured ' by two destroyers. I asked one officer when the luft- waffe had been operating and he answered briefly: "Constantly."
