	British Submarines of World War Two - Human Torpedoes - Chariots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The human-torpedo was "expendable"; it lacked the power to return to the open sea for a rendezvous with the parent submarine and the crew had the bleak choice of attempting to escape ashore or, as they were usually exhausted at the end of the attack, surrendering.
		With the chariot crews hidden in the hold the skipper of the boat, the legendary Leif Larsen - "Shetland Larsen" - bluffed his way past the German patrols and entered Trondheim Fjord - but with barely ten miles to go it was found that both chariots had broken free in rough seas and were lost.
		Operation 'QWZ', as it was known, was a joint operation with the Italian Navy.

	Raid on St. Nazaire (Operation Chariot), Part Two (28 March 1942) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Operation Chariot was organised under the auspices of Combined Operations, which was an inter-Service organisation formed with the specific task of harrying the Axis powers.
		Both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau escaped from Brest before the operation could be mounted but the craft was drafted into Operation Chariot as her speed (almost 40knots from being 40-foot shorter than the other boats and having three 1,250hp super-charged Packard and two Ford V8 engines) might well prove useful.
		The operation had been scheduled to take place on the night of the 28 / 29 March, the night of the highest tides in the Loire but Ryder felt that the force was ready to go and not wanting to lose the good weather decided to go a day early.

	[335 NLRB No. 30] Chariot Marine Fabricators & Industrial Corp., 14-CA-24551
		Chariot admits and I find that at all material times it was an employer engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(2), (6), and (7) of the Act.
		That charge was amended on June 30, 1997, to further allege that Chariot and Mariah were a single employer/alter ego and that the unlawful termination of employees on April 30 was intended to chill unionism at the Mariah facility in Benton.
		The evidence shows that Fulks drove to the Chariot facility because Schoen told him by phone that the employees were holding a union meeting purportedly on Chariot’s property, that Mayhew declined to leave after being told he was trespassing, and that the police had been called.

		The raid, code named 'Operation Chariot', was led by the first Royal Navy warship to be called HMS Campbeltown and it was so successful and so heroic that it resulted in the award of five Victoria Crosses and 80 other decorations for gallantry.
		The task of fitting out the ship for her role in Operation Chariot was given to the craftsmen in the South Yard of Devonport dockyard and the ship was completely stripped out internally to reduce her draught for the transit through the shallows as she approached the target dock.
		On March 26,1942, HMS Campbeltown and her Operation Chariot flotilla of 16 small motor launches, one motor torpedo boat and a motor gun boat sailed from Falmouth for St Nazaire.

		Operation Chariot, the ramming of the main dock gate in the German occupied French port of St Nazaire, was an audacious plan with a high risk of casualties and capture.
		With tons of high explosive packed into the bows the crew and accompanying commandos ran the gauntlet of hostile fire from the shore when their attempts to conceal their vessel's identity were unmasked.

	Lutz's Memoir44 Pages: Operation Chariot Scenario
		The plan was to ram the dock gate with a destroyer packed with explosives, to be ignited by a time-fuse.
		The German armor unit represents the first armored cars to arrive in the harbour area and the moment the Germans re-gained some of the initiative, hence the increase of the german card hand.
		Incidentially, this also marks the point where the historical operation had definitely gone askew- if raiders lose surprise and initiative and have to slug it out against regular forces, you can assume that their plan has been too ambitious, or that intelligence was bad.

		The plan which was ultimately christened Operation CHARIOT, was hatched by the staff of Lord Louis Montbatten's nascent Combined Operations organisation.
		The superstructure of the destroyer would be substantially altered to give her a German silhouette: and, thanks to Signals Intelligence, the force would have available not only the morse-names of enemy ships known to be operating in the area, but also the recognition signals correct for the time of attack.
		Throughout the operation command would be exercised jointly by Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Newman, in charge of the Commando force, and Commander Robert Ryder, RN., responsible for the naval component.

		She was apparently in such a poor condition, that she was appointed to take part in operation Chariot, in fact a suicide mission to take out the Normandy dock in St Nazaire, pre-war used for the big French liner Normandy.
