  1. Lieutenant-Commander Gerard Broadmead Roope received a posthumous Victoria cross for his command of HMS Glowworm during the engagement with Admiral Hipper and her escorting destroyers. The recommendation was supported by Kapitän zur See Hellmuth Heye, the captain of Admiral Hipper, who submitted a report to the British admiralty via the International Red Cross, commending the resolve & bravery of Roope in the face of overwhelming odds.
