Naval Art Print. Royal
Navy destroyer HMS Glowworm and the mighty German Admiral Hipper in naval
art painting by Ivan Berryman "HMS Glowworm's Attack on the Admiral
Hipper".
HMS Glowworm's Attack on the
Admiral Hipper 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.
