For the next couple of weeks, the Champlin stayed in the shores off Southern France in support of the invasion.  They acted as a guide for transports and landing crafts.  Air attacks from German planes were common at dusk and the Champlin found themselves firing upon these enemy planes each night. On August 17th, the Champlin got credit for shooting down a low flying German plane.
