The attacking flotilla included the command ship HMCS Prince David, HMCS Prince Henry, HMS Princess Beatrix, HMS Prins Albert and four U.S. Motor Torpedo Boats.

[1] At 0130 15 August, 95 commandos in landing craft from Prince David beached first, while the remainder of the force waited offshore.

Half an hour later, they sent word back that the enemy gun positions had been silenced.

About 800 commandos moved quickly and were soon established across the main road between Toulon and the Riviera.

The force held its position until relieved by VI Corps from the east on August 15, 1944.
