[LIST][*]The Normandy invasion fleet was the largest armada ever assembled, yet in the opening scene you see only a couple of landing craft. The horizon is empty, when it should have been crowded with vessels from LCVPs up to battleships. It makes it look like the Omaha beach landing was accomplished with a handful of landing craft without any support. Much later on there is a shot overlooking the beach with lots of CGI vessels unloading, but the in the opening scene the sea is strikingly empty.QUOTE]

Actually the landing craft were dropped about ten to twelve miles out. It was about a two hour ride to the beach. You would not have seen the supporting craft from the beach just the landing vessels.
