I have Ray Sturvtivant and Theo Ballance exhaustive history of the
Squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm here.

The narrative history of the Squadron says that: "on 3rd April 1944
escort was provided for an attack on the battleship Tirpitz, and during
the next two months strikes were made on shipping off Norway. On 18th
June no.804 Squadron was absorbed and its strength increased from 10 to
20 Hellcats. It later sailed to the Mediterranean to take part in the
invasion of the south of France in August"

A Battle honour for "Normandy 1944" is however listed.

The squadron base list says:

"HMS Emperor 6 May 1944
Belfast 5 June 1944
HMS Emperor 7 June 1944
Ayr 19 June 1944
Ballyhalbert 28 June 1944
HMS Emperor 9 July 1944"

The NORMANDY battle honour is for "Operation Neptune, covering and
support forces in the Channel, Dover to Ushant for landings in France
6th June to 3 July 1944"
