FDR, a one time Assistant Secretary of the Navy, suggested to Admiral King that rescue vessels should be part of the Naval fleet on D-Day. King naturally agreed, and 60 - 83' CG Cutters, which had been employed as coastal anti-submarine vessels, were selected to fulfill this role.

Thirty of the wooden-hulled, twin prop cutters, patrolled Omaha and Utah and thirty cutters were sent to Gold, Juno and Sword beaches.

Men rescued: Omaha - 194, Utah - 157, Gold/Juno/Sword - 133.

CGC-16, known as "The Homing Pigeon" saved more men than any other ship - 126 men. The entire crew, 13-15 men, were awarded Bronze Stars.

The Navigatori-class Nicolò Zeno had sailed, together with her sister ships Emanuele Pessagno and Antonio da Noli, the Sicilian port of Augusta on 20 October 1941, on a transport run (800 men) for Benghazi.

On the morning of 21 October, at 0830h an escorting CANT Z.506 of the 196a Squadriglia Ricognizione Marittima (196th Maritime Recon Flight) spotted a submarine that had launched torpedoes at the Italian formation, promptly launched orange flares to warn the destroyers and proceeded to attack with depth charges. Thanks to the warning and quick maneuvering, all the torpedoes were evaded. According to British sources, the submarine was the HMS Regent, that fired six torpedoes but underestimated the speed of the targets, therefore missed.

The destroyers reached Benghazi at 1540h, and sailed for home at 1830h, carrying 170 men bound for Italy.
