Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on December 21, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the British destroyer HMS Havelock and her sister Hesperus attacked the wreck of U-246 on 30 April 1945 thinking that it was another German submarine which had been spotted earlier that day?

Commanders

[edit]

The History section says Havelocks captain in 1944 was EH Thomas, and this is sourced from J English's book. Uboat.net and unithistories say Raymond Hart was her captain in 1944, from March to September, and it was under him they got U-767. Thomas was skipper in 1940-42, before Richard Boyle, even. Has anyone got English's book to check this? Xyl 54 (talk) 00:58, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
