Operation
Source - attack on Tirpitz * |
* On
22 September 1943 at Kaafjord, North Norway, Lieutenant Cameron, commanding
Midget Submarine X.6, and another lieutenant (PLACE, B.C.G.) commanding Midget
Submarine X.7, carried out a most daring and successful attack on the German
Battleship Tirpitz. The two submarines had to travel at least 1,000
miles from base, negotiate a minefield, dodge nets, gun defences and enemy
listening posts. Having eluded all these hazards they finally placed the
charges underneath the ship where they went off an hour later, doing so much
damage that the Tirpitz was out of action for months.

* On 31st July, 1945 in the Johore Strait,
Singapore, Lieutenant FRASER, in command of HM Midget Submarine XE3, went up
to attack the Japanese cruiser Takao, which was located after a long and
hazardous journey. Lieutenant Fraser slid the submarine under the target which
lay over a depression in the sea bed, and his diver * went out to fix the
limpet mines to the bottom of the ship. The two side charges then had to be
released, but the starboard charge stuck and the diver climbed out again and
after a nerve-racking five minutes released the charge. XE3 then made for
home.
