A ship’s Royal Navy and Royal Marines gun crew in action.

It is worth recording at this point that one of the recommendations resulting from Operation Jubilee was that ships tasked to support land forces ‘should have bombardment charges’. The Hunt Class destroyers at Dieppe held in their magazines high velocity, low trajectory, Semi Armour Piercing (SAP) rounds that were designed for use in ship to ship engagements. For bombarding the coast, a lower velocity high trajectory round was required that could be lobbed inland. With the wrong type of charges Garth and the other destroyers would be lucky to hit a target on the cliff top.
