Naval Control Service Officer,
Ramsgate, Kent.
mmander-in-Chief,
8th June, 1940.
e Nore,
:
I have the Honour to submit the conduct of operations carried out by the Naval Control Service Ramsgate during
1e "Dynamo" period of 28th May to 4th June.
At 0900 on 28th May instructions were received from over to send every available small craft to arrive off unkerque by 2200 that evening. Though addressed to Naval ontrol Service Officer it was obvious that much work and rganisation was required from Naval Officer-in-Charge; and ersonal contact was made with Captain W.R. Phillimore, Royal lawy, at the earliest opportunity.
Rough details were planned and it was agreed that the inimum number of craft to be allocated to the Naval Control
Service for communications to the Downs should be: 3 Tugs,
3 Drifters and 3 fast Motor-boats. In point of fact only 2
Drifters were then available, but this diminution of considered necessities was accepted in view of the urgency of thesituation.
Stress has been laid on the importance of sufficient and efficient sea communications for the reason that during an
Air-raid warning "Red", outward W/T and R/T is reduced to the minimum, if indeed "Silence" is not imposed, and the difficulties in a long line of communications proportionately increased.
(In this connection, an Air-raid occurred -- fortunately abortive -- within an hour of the conference).
3. Apart from/

ration "DYNAMO" and the functioning of the Naval Control vice, Ramsgate.
Apart from maintaining the normal flow of Trade traffic, e other factors to be borne in mind were:-
(i) Assistance by every means to the "DYNAMO" operation.
(ii) Additional supplies of Routeing Instructions and supplies of Charts to vessels arriving without them.
th these objectives in view the Naval Control Service Staff is temporarily re-organised.
There was no delay in the constitution, formation or illing of any Convoy or individual ship, and this proceeded thout interruption, the number of ships handled (i.e. exclusive all vessels engaged in "Dynamo") during the period: daylight
6th May to nightfall 3rd June, being 505.
(11) An Officer with Charts and Routes was despatched to Margate as occasion required. A sub-routeing office and chart depot was set up at the end of the Eastern
Pier. One officer was lent to take command of a vessel proceeding to Dunkerque, and two officers were lent to the Naval Officer-in-Gharge for any services for which they might be required.
(iii) Large amounts of additional Routeing instructions were made out at once and demands sent in for additional supplies of appropriate charts, which arrived with the utmost promptitude.
Approximately 1000 charts were issued to the various vessels taking part, some 600 of which had the routes laid off on them for those Commanding Officers who had meither parallel rulers nor dividers and in some cases no pencils together with approximately 500 sets of
Routeing Instructions.

tion "DYNAMO" and the functioning of the Naval Control ce, Ramsgate.
The above was done by the Routeing Office under the supervision of Lieutenant-Commander George Raymond
Grandage, Royal Naval Reserve, who was indefatigable:
and there was never hold-up or delay.
Lack of adequate communication in The Downs was an ccasional source of anxiety. There was a considerable number e QZ messages to be dealt with, which might affect not only rade Traffic but also "DYNAMO" operations. There is a natural eluctance to break W/T or R/T silence during an Air-raid arning, and there ware occasions when, through circumstances eyond control, all three fast Motor-boats were away and the nspection Tugs off theirstation for such duties as rendering lecessary assistance, watering small craft etc., thus suspending ea commmunications from the Naval Control Office for the time being.
The number of QZ messages during the period was 55, and the number of Air-raid warnings (Red) was 3, (leaving out of account the innumerable "Yellows"); but there was no instance when they coincided with the times at which there was no means of communication.
6.
All Departments worked untiringly and selflessly, and with a complete team spirit.

Dunkirk and Transport "PRAGUB".
Sir,
I Frederick John Hopgood was the Master-in-Charge of the tug "LADY BRASSEY" on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st May 1940
when I received instructions about 9.50 B.M. from the Salvage
Officer to be prepared to leave when he arrived on board. The
Salvage Officer Lt. Robinson arrived on board about 10.30.a.m.
with the route: for Dunkirk and to assist the H.M.S. "BIDEFORD", also the tug "FORSMOST 87 was to follow, and to instruct the salvage craft "FORDE", also to follow us.
We left Dover at 11 and passing through the Western
Entrance, and waited outside until the "FOREMOST" 87 appeared.
The Salvage Officer told the Master to follow us. We then proceeded on course about 11.15 Balle The weather at this time being hany, visibility about one mile, We proceeded through
Downs but failed to see the "FORDE" and continued on our course.
When nearing V. Buoy the weather became a dense fog that we lost sight of the tug "FOREMOST", so we reduced speed, sounding the tugs whistle until the OREMOST" was close to US. The fog lifted and became patchy and we proceeded on at full speed on course for 17. Buoy. e then set course to No. 5 and 6 buoy
Dunkirk Roads
Thilst on this course several German planes were overhead and the machine gun was fired by Lt. Robinson. We arrived off Dunkirk pierhead about 6.30 palls when a message was sent in to the signal station informing them to had been sent over to assist the "BIDEFORD". le then received a message to come inside and berth alongside the east pier
Dunkirk. We arrived alongside the pier about 6.50 Dalla
Lt. Robinson went on shore for orders. e then received orders to load up with troops and return, but this order was cancelled, and orders given for the tug to remain, by the
Staff Officer, who naked for three lifebelts to put in his motor boat that was standing by for them. This was done, he also said that he would not put troops on board but we were to remain alongside of the quay until further orders.
I then informed him that I did not think we could remain very long in this berth on account of the depth of water. He advised me to shift further out towards the end of the pier about 9 Dalla We shifted berth about 9 Della to the outer end of the pier. I then found with the swell that the tugs starboard bilge keel was striking the coping stone before the rubbing band took a bearing on the pier. I sent one of my men along the pier to report to him it was not safe for the tug to remain alongside and kept the tug underway close to the pier.
About 9.30 Dalla we received orders for both tugs to tow the Transport "PRAGUS" off the East Pier at 10.30 Dalla
The "PRAGUS" was lying head into the harbour and drawing about 17 ft. of water and at that time there would be about
18 ft. of water, also a wreck of a trawler astern, but this trawler had a anchor light burning, for a guide to keep clear of her.
About 10.30 Dalla we got fast to the stern of the
"PRAGUE" and the "FOREMOST" on her bow. About 10.35 p.m.
the "BRASSEY's" wire was not made fast secure on the "PRAGUE"
and it elipped off. We got our rope on board and again made fast to the stern of the "PRAGUE". It was now very dark; we succeeded in towing the "PRAGUE" clear of the Trawler wreck and out between the pierheads and swinging her clear of the wreck/

June, wreck close outside of the entrance and then let go of the tugs. During the period we were at Dunkirk, shells were flying overhead, air raids, shrapnel shells were exploding, pieces flying over the bridge of the tug. No damage done.
We remained close to the entrance of the pier heads after getting the towrope on board. Two vessels that came close to us hailed us for directions to get into and alongside of the East Pier. To instructed them how to get in and the
"FOREMOST" let one of them into the berth. We then dropped alongside of a small vessel alongside of the East Pier at
11.55 Dame waiting further orders. About 12.15 Refle of the
31st the Salvage Officer informed me that a Wireless message was coming through. 12.30 BeMa we received message to return Dover. Both Tugs then left the Pier proceeding to
Dover. When off the South Foreland we received a message telling us to return to the North Goodwin and report on
Drifters "GOLDEN GIFT"and "SHIPMATES" that were ashore.
We returned telling "FOREMOST" to proceed on to Dover.
On a proaching the North Goodwin we could see a drifter coming along with other vessels and closed her about 8.10 Balle It was the "GOLDEN GIFT" whose master reported that he had been ashore and got off again and he had not see the "SHIPMATES". We could see across the Goodwin
Sands and no sign of anything ashore. Sent a message to
Value Dover about the "GOLDEN GIFT" and returned to Dover arriving alongside of the P.W. Pier at 10.15 Stelle
We did not see or hear anything of the Tug "ST.ABBS".

Sir,
I, Frederick John Hopgood, was in charge of the tug
"LADY BRASSEY" when at 10.40 Selle Lt.-Commander Laloe WAS
put on board the Hospital ship "ST. DAVID" lying at anchor off the detached Mole with engine trouble. He then told me to 80 back into harbour and see if S.S. "ROEBUCK" lying at the Admiralty Pier was ready to be assisted off. We had just left the Hospital ship about 11.30 SeMe when we received instructions from the examination steamer to proceed to the assistance of Transport "PRAGUS", "SALAMANDER" and
"IVANHOE" and to instruct Salvage vessel "FORDE" to proceed that was lying at anchor in the Downs. We left Dover about noon and spoke the "FORDE" off Deal about 1 p.m. and proceeded on course when nearing the Fork buoy I could see a craft that appeared to be the "PRAGUE" off the N. W. Goodwin buoy. I spoke the Master who requested me to make fast, and also what was his position. I told him he was close to the
Fork buoy. We got fast at 1.20 p.m. and towing at 1.30 p.m.
About 1.45 Dalla we eased towing for the pilot to get on board.
I had asked the Master if he could hold the water in the ship and replied yes, and draught 25 feet. We then proceeded on passage to Dover. When nearing the Port we received instructions to anchor "PRAGUE" in the Downs at about 2.30 p.m.
We turned around and proceeded back to the Downs. During this time the En ineer reported Dynamo trouble. Whilst passing through the Downs and off Walmer we were hailed that we had better take the ship to anchor in Ramsgate Channel and on closing Ramagate channel we were told to ground the vessel. I then hailed them asking why they wished to beach the vessel and was told that they found they could not hold the water and that she must be beached. We then turned the vessel in towards the Conspicuous House and grounded her on
Sandwich Flats at 11.30 Date We then received a signal to return off Deal for the Salvage Officer Lt. Commander Laloe.
We then received instructions about proceeding to Dunkirk by signal. Lt. Commander Laloe came on board and I
informed him we should like to inspect the Dynamo before leaving. He agreed and sent a message to that effect to
V.A.D. and whilst we were at anchor he would proceed to the
"PRAGUE" by motor boat this would now be about 5.40 p.m.
On the return of the Salvage Officer we reported the
Dynamo appeared satisfactory, but the engineer could not make a very good exam on account of the steam. Lt. Commander
Laloe then told me that we should have to tow the "PRAGUE"
further in shore and that he would go on shore to report.
At 8.15 Dalla we have up anchor and got fast to the "PRAGUE"
and towed her in shore Sast of Sandown Castle at 9 p.m.
About 9.30 Dame we anchored the tug for further instructions from Salvage Officer.
Sunday, 2nd. Hove up anchor 7.45 a.m. and spoke to
Lt. Commander Laloe who was required on the telephone ashore and who was on the Dapper. We went alongside of Dapper and
Brought Salvage Officer off the signal station when he was landed by Motor Boat. At 8.45 n.m. I received instructions from the Salvage Officers to return Dover and arrived alongside the Pier at 10.15 Bettle Took on board coal, and engineer overhauled Dynamo.

H.M.S. IMPULSIVE
June 5th,1940
Sir,
I have the honour to submit the following report in accordance with your memorandum No.B14/0/1101/40 of 4th
June 1940.
H.M.S.Impulsive arrived at Dover from Immingham at 0840 on May 27th 1940, and sailed at 1140
with H.M.Ships Skipjack and Halcyon and Trinity House Vessel
Patricia to establish and buoy the searched channel from the
North Goodwin Light Vessel to Dunkirk, afterwards known as
Route I. This operation was completed by 1919 and Impulsive anchored in the Downs at 2200.
2.
At 2228 on May 27th orders were received by signal to proceed with all despatch to the beaches east of Dunkirk and enbark troops. Inpulsive weighed and proceeding by route Y arrived off La Panne at 0345 on May 28th and anchored as close inshore as possible. Both power boats being broken down the two whalers were sent inshore to enbark troops. These boats were employed ferrying troops from the beach to large motor boats which were lying further off the shore.
3.
At 0520 Impulsive was ordered by
Calcutta, anchored off La Panne, to proceed to Dunkirk and go alongside the Eastern Pier to embark troops. Ship secured alongside the outer end of the pier at 0620 and after embarking approximately 750 troops sailed for Dover. Route Y
was used and after an uneventful passage ship arrived at Dover at 1110. Troops were disembarked and, when several ratings who had missed the ship at Imminghen, had rejoined ship, sailed for Dunkirk at 1235 using route Y.
4.
It was during this passage, off
Kwinte Bank buoy, that the ship was attacked and heavily bombed by six Heinkels. By proceeding at full speed and making frequent and violent alterations of course, the bombs, which could be seen falling, were successfully avoided and no hits were scored. Aircraft were bombing from approximately
1000 feet. On completion of the bombing three aircraft remained behind and attacked with machine guns. A northerly course was steered during these attacks in order to avoid the narrow channels, and it was during these attacks that the ship was damaged and the casualties occurred --- 6 ratings being wounded, 2 seriously. B gun was put out of action by an armour pieroing bullet which penetrated the gun shield, wounded the trainer and lodged in the air pipe to the run out cylinder, causing the gun to remain in the recoil position. The D/G
goil was punctured by bullots and caught fire: this was quickly extinguished. On the first attack developing 1 cleared the bridge of lookouts and signalmen remaining up there by myself.

60
10 last lookout to leave the bridge was seriously wounded the chest. Other ratings wounded were in the after supply rty and were hit by bullots which penetrated the after ireen, and on the Fore Mess Decks and in the Signal stributing Office were hit by bullets penetrating the deck ads. All aircraft made off, presumably when they had pended their ammunition, and course was set for Dunkirk company with Greyhound and Verity, who had by this time rived from the eastward.
On arrival at Dunkirk there is no berth available alongside the gier, four destroyers bing alongside already, so I anchored off and waited for berth to be vacated. At 1730 Gronade sailed and I proceeded longside in her place. Smoke floats and a whaler for placing ham were then handed over to the Naval Officer in charge of mbarkation. About 1000 troops were embarked and I sailed,
1th Jaguar in company, by route Y, arriving at Dover after n uneventful passage at 0100 on May 29th.
At 0400 after disembarking troops moved out to No.11. buoy to repair damage which had been aused during the machine gun attacks. The pipe from B gun and two copper pipes in the engine room which had been fractured y the detonation of near bomb misses, were sent to Sandhurst or repair and efforts were made by the ship's staff to repair the D/C coil. By 1300 the ship was once again ready for sea accept for the D/G goil, which was temporarily repaired later in the day.
At 0500 on May 30th Impulsive iailed for Sheerness in company with Javelin, Intrepid, Ivanhoe,
Coarus, Havant and Harvester, arriving and securing to No.10
moy at 0900. At 1600 orders were received to proceed with all despatch to Dunkirk, and Ivanhoe, Icerus, Impulsive and larvester sailed in company by route X. On arrival, Impulsive proceeded alongaide the East Pier, the inshore berth, and ambarked 1300 troops. This was the largest number embarked and I did not consider there was room for any more. The passage back to Dover by route X was uneventful and at 2400 the ship secured alongside Admiralty Pier, after a long wait in the outer harbour for a berth to become vacant.
At 0400 on May 31st, the ship
8. Dunkirk by route I, with orders to enbark troops sailed Dunkirk for beach, and arrived off the beach at 0700. Although from thousands of soldiers on the beach there were very few whaler. The only power boat in the neighbourhood, in there boats were to bring them off. Impulsive had no power boats and a large came alongside. This boat, towing a cutter difficult only one War Department motor boat with Colonel Hutchings and charge, Impulsive's whaler, did magnificent work under conditions and between 0800 and 1315 had transferred approximately 450 troops from the beach to the ship.

.3.
5)
61
It was whilst the ship was lying
9. off waiting for boats to come alongside that Impulsive grounded aft on an uncharted wreck. The details of this incident have already been reported.
At 14.20 Impulsive returned to Dover by 10. route X at twelve knots on one engine. Heavy bombing attacks on Dunkirk had just started, and the shore battery abreast No.71
Buoy was shelling ships using the West Channel. Passage to
Dover was uneventful, and at 2000 the ship secured alongside
Admiralty Pier and disembarked approximately 450 troops.
This was the last trip Inpulsive made to 11. Dunkirk, and at 1715 on June 1st the ship sailed for Sheerness to de-ammunition before proceeding to Blackwall Dook for repair.
In accordance with paragraph 2. of
12. your memorandum, names of officers and men are submitted on attached list.

in reply to a question if any British officers were still left on the Mole, I replied that on earlier trips 1 had seen one who had asked me not to leave him behind. This officer was engaged in helping the embarkation of the troops. 1 had not seen him on my last trip but told tug I would make another trip to see if he was there. Informed tug would be as quick as possible and if tug could not wait, would return to England under own power. Tug said she could only wait a short while.

Engines got going again and we went alongaide and collected about 24 more French soldiers. There was no sign of British officer and Price reported to me that French on the Mole told him he had gone. 1 sent Price up on to the Mole to make enquiries.
