HMS Scimitar was a relic of World War I, part of the package of aging destroyers sent by Roosevelt to the British in 1940.

HMS Onslow, the destroyer that had first sighted the German craft shortly after midnight, had taken off in pursuit after the first LST had been hit, and soon other destroyers joined the chase.
