Which warship did Skuas sink on 9 May 1940 Norway?

Hi guys

806 Squadron Skuas attacked shipping including German warships in Bergen harbour on 9 May 1940; the crews were led to believe that they sank the German gunnery training/minelayer BREMSE but author Peter C. Smith implies they sank the similar vessel BRUMMER, even though it was recorded as having fallen foul of a RN submarine a few weeks earlier.

Does anyone have the facts?

Cheers
Brian
