I see the listing given is as a part of a support operation, from which it is not clear whether that intended use in the English Channel. As the engines were playing up (again) had the invasion gone ahead towards the end of September there would have been no involvement.lwd wrote: Her repairs were completed as of 7 Sept. but during post repair trials she had a propulsion failrue at the end of Sept and spent October undergoing further repair.

Or it could have been a very short involvement. If the engines acted up during a feint I certainly wouldn't want to be on Hipper with Hood and escorts coming over the horizon.RF wrote:I see the listing given is as a part of a support operation, from which it is not clear whether that intended use in the English Channel.

In order to honor a soldier, we have to tell the truth about what happened over there. The whole, hard, cold truth. And until we do that, we dishonor her and every soldier who died, who gave their life for their country. ( Courage Under Fire )
