.3. 5) 61 It was whilst the ship was lying 9. off waiting for boats to come alongside that Impulsive grounded aft on an uncharted wreck. The details of this incident have already been reported. At 14.20 Impulsive returned to Dover by 10. route X at twelve knots on one engine. Heavy bombing attacks on Dunkirk had just started, and the shore battery abreast No.71 Buoy was shelling ships using the West Channel. Passage to Dover was uneventful, and at 2000 the ship secured alongside Admiralty Pier and disembarked approximately 450 troops. This was the last trip Inpulsive made to 11. Dunkirk, and at 1715 on June 1st the ship sailed for Sheerness to de-ammunition before proceeding to Blackwall Dook for repair. In accordance with paragraph 2. of 12. your memorandum, names of officers and men are submitted on attached list. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. VICE AD MIRAL 1940 Lieutenant-Cormandor. OVER Vice-Admiral, Dover. to Captain (D), 20th Destroyer Flotilla.
