HMS Charybdis was sunk off Guernsey while taking part in Operation Tunnel , my Dad remembered that day although his ship was somewhere else on that day, I'm sure he knew some of the crew.

For a good insight into the bungling that went on in the upper naval command a good book to read is Destroyer Captain by Capt. Roger Hill if you should come across a copy.
HMS Charybdis was known to the ratings who's base was at Plymouth (including my Dad) as "The Cherry B"
