About the ship
USS Buchanan, a Wickes-class destroyer, was handed over to the Royal Navy in 1940. Following repairs and a refit, she was put into service within the United Kingdom's naval warfare force under the name HMS Campbeltown. The destroyer was selected to join a raid on Saint-Nazaire with the aim of blowing up the lock gates of the Louis Joubert dry dock—the only dry dock on the Atlantic coast capable of servicing German battleship Tirpitz. On March 28, 1942, packed with tons of high explosives and disguised as a German Type 23 torpedo boat, Campbeltown rammed the gates of the dry dock. The explosion that followed demolished the caisson of the dry dock, along with the destroyer.
