==Trivia==
 +
This map involves many references to the real operation Neptune:
 +
 
 +
;Node A5
 +
*This is an anti-installation/landing operation on the island of Guernsey; a strategic location on the Channel Islands. This operation occurred simultaneously with the D-Day Invasion
 +
 
 +
;Nodes B3 & B4
 +
*This is ASW Sweep around Jersey Island and Saint Malo's Fort de la Conchée; both of which were occupied by Germans and then liberated during the Invasion of Normandy
 +
 
 +
;Node C3
 +
*Node C3 is in Poole located in Southern England. Poole is the 3rd Largest Embarkation Point during the D-Day Landings. Ships and munition ships came here to resupply and head to the Beaches
 +
 
 +
;Phase 1
 +
*The reason why a TP phase is the first phase is based on the fact that during the Omaha landings, the first wave were made up of mostly Combat Engineers tasked with clearing the beaches for the landing crafts, Sherman DD's, and LSTs. Sadly most of these units suffered heavy casualties but it is thanks to their sacrifice in clearing the beaches and barbed wires that the succeeding waves were able to land and push in.
   −
=Historical Bonuses=
+
;Phase 2
{{color|red|'''DISCLAIMER:''' ''This information is based on user-submitted data and is subject to revisions as more data is gathered. Any version of the ship receives the bonus regardless of remodel.''}}
+
*The 2nd phase being an HP phase might be a reference to the fact that it was via the Second Wave and succeeding waves of landings that the American Elements were able to damage and take over the installations and bunkers at Omaha and Pointe du Hoc
   −
====Ship Bonuses====
+
;Node U
??
+
*Is in Dieppe which was the site of the first major Allied invasion attempt of Europe during WW2. Sadly it was a military disaster and the Canadian Landing Forces were all defeated.
   −
====Equipment Bonuses====
+
;Phase 5
??
+
*The Boss fight is located at Calais which is the shortest crossing from the UK to Mainland Europe as well as what the Germans suspected as the landing site for the Allied invasion of Europe. This is the location of the diversion and part of Operation Fortitude which was an Allied effort to confuse the Germans.
