And unless they captured a port intact and could hold it then the
germans had no way of getting an 88 across the channel. And as they
had no way of holding the navy back (the luftwaffe couldn't even stop
the RN lifting troops off a beach at Dunkirk, so if they couldn;t
hit *stationary* ships often enough then they certainly wouldn't
stop destroyers carving into the invasion barges at 30+ knots,
nor the sloops from pouring 100+ shells a minute at the barges.
Oggle oggle.
