    Naval war isn’t really a thing any more. There’s no need to assault from water when we can perform guided missile and drone strikes from the air. Maybe naval artillery too, if you really want. Then you can more easily roll in with tanks and troops.

    The landings at Normandy were the best option because the UK was right across the channel, and the other major borders were Spain and Italy, both aligned with Nazi Germany and would mean crossing the Pyrenees or Alps, respectively.
