The first chart uses vessel types from our independently compiled searchable index of factual references and limited transcriptions from Lt Col G. P. Orde’s report; it is not a reproduction of the complete underlying document. The second uses the unfiltered ship table and combines available type information from Orde, external vessel collections, the Small Craft Service List and Lloyd’s Yacht Register, preferring the more specific combined-record value where available.
These totals describe records and mentions, not a definitive fleet of participating vessels. A ship may appear because it was associated with, considered for, investigated in connection with or mentioned in material relating to Operation Dynamo; inclusion does not by itself prove participation.
