@joshthomas-moore2656 As befits an operation that would eventually bear the moniker “The Greatest Raid,” Operation Chariot produced an extraordinary list of awards for gallantry. Sgt. Durrant and Able Seaman Savage were awarded Victoria Crosses posthumously. Upon their return to England, the same high distinction was bestowed upon Commanders Ryder and Beattie and Lt. Col. Newman. No other operation has received so many Victoria Crosses. The raid on St. Nazaire garnered four Distinguished Service orders, 17 Distinguished Service Crosses, 11 Military Crosses, four Conspicuous Gallantry Medals, five Distinguished Conduct Medals, 24 Distinguished Service Medals, 15 Military Medals, and 51 men Mentioned in Dispatches.

@toddwebb7521 easier solution is what they actually did. Attack the ship by air. Not getting into some sort of ship to ship dueling match.

@henriquekonradt541 that's pretty much how surface raiders operate.

@JSremus adding another destroyer is not likely to increase chances of success. If anything , it increases your exposure of being spotted.

@grzechu9821 no secret mission. The whole stuff about smuggling Nazis to South America is a lot of hokey.
