Lieut. Jordan sent in 2 reports of the operations carried
out by these ships at Dunkirk. These reports differ from
each other and from reliable reports of events with which they
deal.
Report No.1 (dated 7th June 1940 and addressed to Captain u/s,
Harwich) shows that the Fleetwood trawler flotilla
made only one trip to Dunkirk, and that was on the
1st June. (1) Five of the trawlers brought back
troops - over 800 French colonial troops, and
also 137 officers and men, survivors of the French
dr. Foudroyant. The sixth trawler towed back a
disabled Belgian trawler.
Report No. 2 (dated 29th October 1940, and addressed to the Port
Fishery Captain, Fleetwood), indicates that the
Flotilla was operating at Dunkirk on 30th May and
returned to Ramsgate a.m. 31st May. On p.m. 31st
May, the Flotilla was said to be again operating
off Dunkirk beachès, and when returning from
Dunkirk on the night of 31st May/lst June, was said
to have been present at the action in which the
French dr. Siroco was sunk. This however, is
impossible, because the Siroco was sunk on the
night of 30th/31st May.
The Report then records that the Flotilla made a trip to
Dunkirk on 1st June. It is considered that this trip was the
only one actually made by the Fleetwood trawlers. Also, it

The tug Java came to her assistance,

The M/L Fervent (Lt. Cdr. W.R.T.

y dear Dobson,
Thank you for your letter F.G.B.
28 of the 11th December, about the
Pleetwood trawlers at Dunkirk. I am
having some enquiries made at Dover
and the Nore, but this is the first we
have heard of it at the Admiralty so
that it looks as if Lt.Jordan's report
had miscarried.
The decorations given to some of
GAVA's" crew were for saving certain
rench seamen. This action formed
the subject of a separate report and th
act that it was considered does not
ean that a report on these trawlers'
eneral service in the Dunkirk opera-
ions was also before us.
Yours sincerely,

8th January 1941.
My dear Dick,
With reference to your letter of the 21st of December
1940, all these ships were mentioned in Vice Admiral Dover's list
of ships taking part, though "Evelyn Rose", "Gava", and "Velia" are
shown as "Miscellaneous H.M. Small Craft", and the rest as "Other
British Ships".
I attach a list of ships for your ready reference.
There is no entry in the special Dynamo register concerning the
report rendered by the Senior Examination Officer Fleetwood, so we
think it failed to arrive. I referred the paper to Naval Officer
in Charge Ramsgate who has made enquiries but regrets that no
information is available concerning the recommendations for the
Fleetwood Trawlers mentioned. I am sending a copy of this to
Worthington.
