SS Marine Robin & Normandy
Answers to your question are on the talk page in question. Further research pretty much eliminates Marine Robin being at Normandy on or about 6 June 1944. The ship was in the invasion of southern France, DRAGOON, as seen in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Task Force 85, Operation Plan #3-44. Marine Robin and Santa Rosa are the two AP type ships in the Transport Group, Section II. There is other evidence the ship was on the other side of the Atlantic on the day before the Normandy landing. Arriving New York on 5 June 1944. A check of U.S. registry for 1944-1945 shows no other ship of the name to be confused in that record. I will write up a summary for the Talk page for the ship. Palmeira (talk) 14:51, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
