| More than 6,000 ships, warships, merchantmen, landing craft and barges, sailed across the channel in marked lanes cleared by minesweepers. |
| These were to include a close escort of six destroyers, four corvettes, three minesweepers, four armed trawlers and two ack-ack ships. |
| The Royal Navy committed four minesweepers to the operation. |
| A number were obtained from the Soviet Union, beginning in 1976, including Kashin-class destroyers, Nanuchka missile boats, minesweepers, and a tanker. |
