  • Allen, Thomas B. (1 June 2004). "The Gallant Destroyers of D-Day". U.S. Naval Institute. Naval History Magazine Volume 18, Number 3. The Emmons (DD-457) had started the day escorting minesweepers, clearing a path to Omaha Beach. She was about 3,000 yards offshore and waiting to begin her shore bombardment, ordered for 0550, when a German gun opened fire. Shells straddled the destroyer. She returned fire, momentarily silencing the Germans. Then she became floating artillery. The Emmons and other fire-support destroyers sailed as close as 1,000 yards from the beaches.
