dfariswheel,
Unfortunately, MANY Garands went to the bottom of the Atlantic off Normandy, in the hands of the brave 29th IN Division's heroes & brave men of other units that died on D-Day, even prior to touching France. - Better men that I will ever be.
(I was once a 29er, in the VA ARNG and I have personally seen the casualty lists of that LONGEST DAY.)
Otoh, I agree that few supply ships and loads of Garands went to the bottom in the war in the Atlantic Ocean.
yours, sw
