		Operation Neptune was implemented as a direct response to outcries from coastal communities, environmental organisations and community policing forums along the southwest coast that the poaching in their areas needed to be addressed.
		As a result, Operation Neptune was considered a special task force that incorporated both police and fisheries personnel, with additional assistance from the army, navy and locally based organisations (such as municipal law enforcement officers, conservation agents and Seawatch).
		Neptune annoyed the poachers and now that the Operation was terminated, it was perceived that the poachers were more determined than before to ‘rape the coast’.

	Encyclopædia Britannica's Guide to Normandy 1944
		The “Neptune” Initial Joint Plan is frequently referred to as the “Montgomery plan” because it is the only order for the Normandy Invasion issued by General Bernard Montgomery, commander of the Twenty-first Army Group, the Allied expeditionary ground forces at the time of the invasion.
		It is not an isolated operation, but is part of a large strategic plan designed to bring about the total defeat of Germany by means of heavy and concerted assaults upon German-occupied Europe from the United Kingdom, the Mediterranean, and Russia.
		Operation “Point-Blank” is our main means of achieving this and will be maintained to the maximum extent possible, taking into account the preliminary requirements of “Neptune”.

	Operation Neptune
		Once you've collected the canisters and broken their security codes, you not only will reveal the discoveries made by the scientists and astronauts on the space mission but may also learn whether the toxins at the crash site are linked to the canisters or are just a coincidence.
		The arcade portion places you in command of the Neptune, a small deep-sea submarine equipped with a sophisticated on-board computer and the capability of grabbing small objects from the ocean floor.
		Part of the challenge in piloting the Neptune is in using these currents to slip past obstacles and retrieve parts of the wreckage.

		Naval parties, capable of operating the beaches, artificial harbors and captured ports, were organized in advance of the operation; during the assault phase, they were established ashore, under the appropriate basic and assault force commanders.
		Operational responsibility for the conduct of the operation within the "assault area" was delegated to the Allied Naval Commander-in-Chief.
		All operations and movements within their commands must be coordinated so as to give immediate effect to the requirements of the Allied Naval Commander-in-Chief as set out in his plan and operation orders, and communicated by him at the time.

		First Army NEPTUNE Plan was issued on 25 February, V Corps' plan on 26 March, and that of the 1st Infantry Division on 16 April.
		The troops used a scheme of maneuver closely similar to that of the NEPTUNE plans, and the concentration and embarkation took place in areas soon to be used for NEPTUNE mounting.
		That part of the stretch regarded as suitable for landing operations was about 7,000 yards long, on a shore which curves landward in a very slight crescent and is backed with bluffs which merge into the cliffs at either end of the sector.

	Operation Neptune: Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Operation Neptune bills itself as a "deep-sea adventure that builds pre-algebra and problem-solving skills." As you scour the ocean floor in your submarine, you must answer messages from the surface ship or the onboard computer.
		Operation Neptune contains many features that research shows appeals to boys, including time pressure (in the combination lock puzzle), challenging hand-eye coordination (using the arrow keys to direct the submarine around), and some violence, in the form of shooting without killing.
		In a seven-week study where children were free to choose among eight games, Operation Neptune was very popular with both girls and boys.

	Archaeological Remote Sensing Survey of Operation Neptune
		Dubbed Operation Overlord, Winston S. Churchill called this "the most difficult and complicated operation to ever take place." Yet, for all the difficulties and all the German advantages, the Allies successfully exercised a decisive edge, the control of the sea and air, which gave them unprecedented mobility.
		Operational constraints encountered within the project area included: 1) tidal predictions; 2) current velocity; 3) partially awash and submerged obstructions; 4) turbidity and plankton; and 5) fouling and entanglement hazards.
		Unexploded Ordnance encountered during the FS 2001 season included numerous shell casings typically found lying against the outside of the sunken Sherman M4s, reams of small arms ammunition lying exposed on the seabed and one glass ampoule containing either acid (fuse) or iodine (medicinal) (Figure 4).

	Saving Private Ryan: Operation Overlord
		Operation Overlord was the code name used for the Allied attack on German-occupied Northern France in the summer of 1944.
		The seaborne aspects of Operation Overlord were known as Operation Neptune, and involved the embarkation of the troops, their transport across the English Channel, and their landings at Normandy.
		Needing full moonlight for the paratrooper operations and a rising tide to assist the landing craft, the Overlord planners were restricted to the days of June 5th through June 7th.

	Royal Navy: The Royal Navy & Operation Neptune
		The Royal Navy’s role in Operation Neptune- the assault phase of Operation Overlord- the liberation of North-West Europe is well summarised in Admiral Ramsay’s order to all the Allied naval forces under his command:
		The fulfilment of this task required a wide range of operations, which closely align with the Royal Navy’s current capabilities and vision of the future.
		Success in the Battle of the Atlantic, the joint (multi-service) and combined (multi-nation) campaign, which endured for the entire war and was led by the Royal Navy, was essential if Britain was to survive as a base for the assault on Europe.

		Consequently the history of the invasion of France and the subsequent beach operations which permitted Allied troops to burst from their bridgehead and advance east is long and complicated.
		What follows is a record of the training of American troops in Great Britain for the landing operation, the preliminary assault landings in the Mediterranean, the mounting of American troops for the Normandy landings, the beach assault, and the establishing and operating of the two American beaches in France—OMAHA and UTAH.
		It should be taken as an indication of the effect that the Mediterranean operations had upon planning and training for the Normandy operation.

	Comments and Criticism on Operation NEPTUNE
		(1) The weather and the roughness of the sea was such on June 6th that the operation should have been postponed another twenty-four hours.
		With a calmer sea many of the Amphibious tanks and Dukws lost would have made the beach and helped in the assault of the strong points.
		An exact method of pin pointing targets for aerial bombing and naval artillery in the assault phase of such operations must be developed.
