Summary
[edit]DescriptionUSS Glennon (DD-620) and USS Rich (DE-695) mined off Normandy in June 1944.jpg | The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Glennon (DD-620), at right, after her stern was blown off by a mine, off Normandy, France, on 8 June 1944. The destroyer escort USS Rich (DE-695), a U.S. PT boat, a British motor launch, and a U.S. Auk-class minesweeper are standing by. Rich soon hit another mine, which also destroyed her stern, and was then sunk by a third mine. Glennon was sunk by shore batteries two days later. |
