Yes. The Japanese also failed to target the dry docks. This enabled the Navy to repair ships that had been damaged and get them back in action - sometimes in just a few weeks. This was a huge strategic advantage for the U.S.

Henri Laussucq

Good morning, I found the post D-Day 75th Anniversary Honoring those who served. A friend I work with, Francois, who originally is from France. His Great Grandfather Henri Laussucq has been a question mark for Francois for many years. I am helping him to gather information. I have read your post, I am hoping maybe you have more information that I will be able to pass on to Francois. If you do, please if you will help me add to the story.

Thank you.
