English: The Phoenix breakwaters are a set of reinforced concrete caissons built as part of the artificial Mulberry harbours that were assembled as part of the follow-up to the Normandy landings during World War II. They were constructed by civil engineering contractors around the coast of Britain. They were collected at Dungeness and Selsey, and then towed across the English Channel and sunk to form the Mulberry harbour breakwaters replacing the initial 'Gooseberry' block ships. Further caissons were added in the autumn of 1944 to re-enforce the existing structures; this was due to the harbour continuing in use longer than planned.

Eesti: Phoenixi lainemurdja ( inglise keeles Phoenix breakwater) oli teisaldatava sadama ehk Mulberry sadama osa, mis projekteeriti 1944. aastal liitlaste maabumiseks Normandias D-päeval.

Italiano: I frangiflutti Phoenix furono una serie di cassoni in cemento armato utilizzati presso il porto artificiale di Mulberry (Mulberry Harbour) che sono stati assemblati per lo Sbarco in Normandia, durante la seconda guerra mondiale.
