<HTML>HMS Wren ( a W class destroyer launched on 11/11/1919) was providing AA cover for minesweepers engaged in routine sweeping operations when the force was attacked by German aircraft. The minesweeper Montrose was damaged and towed back in Harwich. Wren became the main target for the attack and was sunk off Aldeburgh, 52° 10' N, 02 ° 06' E.
