Re: HMS Wren
The Situation Report issued by the Luftwaffe Fuehrungsstab IC reported an attack on a convoy 25 km SSE of Lowestoft in 2 waves. 1550 hrs, 1 4000 T merchant ship hit by 500 kg bomb; 1755 hrs, destroyer sunk, destroyer damaged by 250 & 500 kg bomb. It mentions another series of attacks on Dover at 1530 and 1735 hrs during which an auxiliary cruiser was hit by a 250 kg bomb and exploded and off Dover at 1735 and 1845 hrs during which another destroyer was sunk. I would guess the first is the Wren, the second Codrington
