Re: Raids by British Naval forces

Slight correction: On the 2 November 1917 raid, 8 fishing trawlers were sunk, not 10. My mistake. The auxiliary cruiser K/Kronprinz Wilhelm was sunk by the destroyers Parker, Rocket, Trenchant, Rigorous, Sorceress, Ready and Rob Roy.

The Frankfurt(158 grt) you mention is one of the eight trawlers sunk. The other seven were: Frisia, Emmy, Makrele, Julius Wieting, Seadler, Sonne and Walter.

The 15 April 1918 raid was also in the Kattegat. This time British destroyers sank 10 German trawlers: Fritz Busse, Geo E. Benson, Wien, Wega, Senator Refardt, Odin, Heinrich, Horns Riff, Senator Diestel and Schillig. Other than HMS Petard, I don't know what other British destroyers took part.

Hope this helps.
