That was from Kriegsmarine S-boats that assaulted the training forces, not from UK/Comwlth live-fire (once again, I may be wrong, but that's what I've read).
And that is my last post until after my exam. |
Sorry, I kept editing my post on the hop. Many of the deaths where due to live fire accidents and many where do with the attack on the training ships.
I refer you back to my, now compleate, post. I can't vouch for it's accuracy as every source I find gives a dirrent answer.
