HMS Glowworm and SMS Admiral Hipper in naval art painting by Ivan Berryman "The
Attack on the Admiral Hipper by HMS Glowworm".
The attack on the Admiral
Hipper by HMS Glowworm by Ivan Berryman. HMS Glowworm, burning severely after receiving hits
from the mighty Admiral Hipper, is depicted turning to begin her heroic
sacrifice off the Norwegian coast on 8th April 1940. Hugely out-gunned
and already crippled, Glowworm's captain, Lieutenant-Commander Roope
rammed his destroyer into the side of the Admiral Hipper, inflicting a
40 metre rip in its armour belt before drifting away and exploding. 38
British sailors were rescued from the sea and Roope was awarded a
posthumous VC for his bravery, the first earned by the Royal Navy in
WWII.
