Description
Exactly 75 years ago, on the night of June 5, 1944, more than 150,000 Allied personnel, aboard more than 5,000 ships and aircraft, embarked from England upon the largest, most ambitious, and most important seaborne invasion in human history.
The D-Day invasion took place a day later than originally expected because of inclement weather. With conditions still uncertain on June 5, Allied Supreme Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower set the mission into motion with this simple order: "Let's go."
Tens of thousands of troops endured a rough night's passage of the English Channel, surging across storm-churned black water on their way to the beaches of Normandy, France.

The Invasion of Normandy was the invasion and establishment of Western Allied forces in Normandy, during Operation Overlord in 1944 during World War II, the largest amphibious invasion to ever take place.

In the Mass Effect Universe, all Frigates of the System Alliance are named after battles. So also the SSV Normandy, the class prototype.

Commissioned in 2183, the Normandy was commanded by Captain David Anderson. Shortly thereafter, the Normandy was handed over to Commander Shepard when the Commander became the first human Spectre, and served as Shepard's main source of transportation and base of operations.
