COAST GUARD LCI GOES DOWN IN THE CHANNEL - A casualty of the heavy Nazi fire against the D-Day invasion fleet, a Coast Guard LCI, loaded with troops, lists heavily to port before sinking in the English Channel. She had time, however, to pull alongside the Coast Guard assault transport in the distance, and evacuate her troops and wounded before capsizing and going down. The infantry landing craft was fatally hit on a run to the French beach, this picture shown soldiers up on the high rail as the LCI limped to the transport.
