Wasn't there a film about this or a similar raid?

The name of the ship was the name of my hometown, Campbelltown.

Theres a book called The Greatest Raid Of All.
One of the best books I've ever read, and it details everything that happened in Operation Chariot.

IIRC, the HMS Campbelltown was one of the 50 4-stackers the US provided to Britain before we entered the war. Was it named after your town? I assumed it was, because according to the Wiki the ship's bell was rescued during the raid and eventually given to the town, then loaned back to the RN for use on the new HMS Campbelltown that was launched 40+ years later. |

@OP, Laughing swordfish did a very interesting point of view bit about this in his story up in the SH3 Forum. Good read to BTW. I've been meaning to learn more about this raid, I'll have to check out these links. |
