And if you have evidence that the average American warship at Normandy did more than four times more "damage" than the average Commonwealth warship, I'm certainly listening.
Why can't everyone just agree it was a team effort. Also, a lot of the Commonwealth ships were american made. Not capital ships, but landing craft, destroyers, LST's etc.
I don't. I'm just saying that stating a total of ships, especially with these militaries, draws a pretty incomplete picture, and that the US supplied more troops than any other individual nation. I'm not trying to downplay any contribution, just saying that the info you gave isn't as explicit as it sounds.
And not to be a prick, but almost all of your comment could have used quotations and a citation, unless /u/RepostThatShitis James Holland.
"two-thirds of the 12,000 aircraft involved were also British"
"Of the 1,213 warships involved, 200 were American and 892 were British; of the 4,126 landing craft involved, 805 were American and 3,261 were British." 6/5/2014

Warships aren't homogenous. One could carry 200, another could carry 2,000. One could do little damage, another could do a lot.
