From http://www.navsource.org/archives/03/034.htm comes this quote:

HMS Emperor was outfitted as a strike/CAP carrier. Provided fighter cover
for a strike on German battleship Tirpitz;


served as an ASW patrol ship at Normandy and supported invasion of
southern France before transferring to the Pacific.


which does support Enzo's statement that the ship was at Normandy on
D-Day.


Yes, but that appears to be an error.
