Strictly speaking, you're correct. However, the original plan called for both an aerial and naval bombardment of the port before the actual assault, but when the original RUTTER operation was scrubbed and lter reconstituted as JUBILEE, both were conspicuous by their absence.
For the record, I concur with Sapper's assessment of conspiracy theories. They breed like rabbits whenever something goes wrong.
