RN & Sweden:
Archer class (P2000) HMS Dasher (P280) made an unusual delivery to a Swedish submarine in the Baltic Sea during NATO’s major annual maritime exercise, BALTOPS 24, June 2024

Operating on a calm sea, Dasher remained a few meters from the SSK, HSwMS Södermanland, to avoid damaging the hull, a demonstration package of coffee and biscuits was passed across by heaving line in a waterproof bag. Although symbolic, it demonstrated the ability of small RN vessels to support submarines, communicate via NATO protocols and deliver small stores packages in-theatre.

HSwMS Södermanland is the last remaining Västergötland-class boat in the Swedish Navy.

21 June 1944. F class destroyer HMS Fury (H76) hit a mine at 10:39am off Ver-sur-Mer while providing fire support for the Normandy beachhead. Badly damaged, she was taken in tow by tug Thames towards Mulberry B at Arromanches but by the evening the weather worsened and the tow parted. Fury drifted across the anchorage, collided with two other ships, was taken in tow by a salvage ship but again broke free, ran into a floating crane and two more ships, before being carried inshore and driven onto the beach at Arromanches with waves breaking over her.
There were no casualties, and the crew stayed on board overnight and disembarked over the side in the morning. A major salvage operation followed, until on 5 July she was finally refloated. She was towed to Portsmouth where she was quickly condemned as a total loss.
