how many l.s.t,l.s.i,l.c.i and all the assault ships and craft,would you not consider to be part of the naval order of battle.i would certainley suggest you ask some veterans if they think they were in the naval o.o.b sir.

Not quite. I am sure it was a great deal hotter in the numbered ships than it was on the big monsters.
To clarify, I meant that it is not possible to research the smaller(numbered) ships by name as all the orders of battle only list named ships, usually destroyers and up. Though there are a few sites that go into losses of numbered craft by number.

We know what your intent was, Compo.

I saw a rundown one time of the landing craft and landing ships for the US beaches. I don't remember where, though. It may have been in a book, not online though.

In the National Archives I found more or less what I wanted.
ADM 179/391 is a structured list sent by Admiral Ramsay to the Admiralty of all Allied ships for D-day. They are set out in a table with columns for different types of ship and rows for port of embarkation.

It is notable both for the courtly language: "Be pleased to lay before thier Lordships .. " and because this, the greatest armada ever, is defined by its commander in such a tatty, mimeographed document.
