What did they do to her?

When you said sunk I thought you were refering to the incident I have linked to but I can now see you meant the British Wye attack, don't recall the details on that but it did involve rolling bombs out of the rear of a C-130, another 'failed to explode' incident maybe ?
I found information here: http://www.naval-history.net/F62brshipslost.htm
Look at ""Saturday 29th May"".
