OK, through the operation.

Every ship made it but the biggest one, which hit a mine and stopped, laying low in the water. I stayed with her for days, but she didn't sink.

Pretty uneventful until the narrowest bit. I anticipated that one ship or plane would find the task force and then call in everything the Brits had in the area, but nope - scattered ships and nothing else. No mass scrambling of vessels.

The Luftwaffe launched some heavy Ju-88 air strikes against the scattered Elcos and Armed Trawlers straying too close to the crippled ship, though.

On the Royal Navy ship hit by allied bombers: . Was truly is absurd to the extreme.
