Abstract :
During the early stages of the normandy invasion in World War II, the French port of Cherbourg fell to the Allies. The city was virtually without electric power, however, because of damage to the generating equipment. The Allies rushed a destroyer escort, the USS Donnell, into the harbor. In a short time power from the vessel´s generators was being supplied to Cherbourg.
