I can add a little - the ship was paid off by the Navy in March 1918 to be handed over to the British Army - the Inland Water Transport Service - along with all the other 'Fly' class boats. Perhaps some other info may be found in- https://www.naval-military-press.com/product/inland-water-transport-i...

I agree with Platon - I have her being badly damaged off Harstad by air attack on 26 May and subsequently written off the following day
(TNA ADM: 199/2225)

Regret I do not have info. on mining of Fantome

Working to clear a minefield, Felixstowe detonated a mine at 09.04 and sank 45 minutes later

HEBE detonated a mine at 11.20 whilst sweeping off Bari: she sank within five minutes of the explosion

Nope, I have received no spam etc … I agree it is annoying

Blackburn Rovers was certainly lost on 2 June 1940 off Dunkirk, probably after detonating a mine, with the depth charges exploding as she sank - trawler Westella in company went to her aid and suffered the same fate.

This would suggest that she survived any earlier incident, and was not scuttled.

The remains of British landing craft LCT.326, lost in 1943, has been located by a team from Bangor University.

The collision was at 01.35hrs and although she did not sink immediately, it was soon after this time

According to Charts and Surveys in Peace and War by R.O. Morris, the Herald was “…at Singapore, laid up and inactive, when Malaya was overrun”. Therefore there would have been no commanding officer. The contemporary Navy Lists continued to list the Herald throughout the war and also show a Lieutenan...

I believe the air raid commenced at 16.00 (local time), so it would have been soon after that

CORFIELD detonated a mine at 17.00 although she did not sink until 19.15

Crew taken off by armed trawler Sangarius and Norwegian destroyer Draug
