	St. Nazaire Raid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German defences at St. Nazaire were considered the second toughest in western France after Brest.
		Across the estuary from St Nazaire were four 75 mm guns at St Gilda, another four at Le Pointeau and ten or so 20 mm guns at Mindin.
		MGB 314 survived and was the last vessel to leave, her decks covered in wounded men rescued from the waters, the two Able Seamen Savage and Smith distinguishing themselves until their deaths as they manned the exposed automatic 2-pounder (37 mm).

	Raid on St. Nazaire (Operation Chariot), Part Two (28 March 1942)
		St Nazaire had been one of a number of French ports that had been taken over by the Germans to serve their military needs (along with Brest, Lorient, La Rochelle and Bordeaux) when they had occupied France in 1940.
		The journey to St Nazaire would be made in the company of the two destroyers, Tynedale and Atherstone and would be made in a sub-hunting formation to keep the cover story going when near to home base and to fool enemy spotter aircraft when in the Bay of Biscay.
		By 07.00, the force was some 160 miles southwest of St Nazaire and changed course slightly to start the long turn towards their target, when Tynedale spotted an object on the surface around seven miles to the east of the force and after having cast off MGB 314, sped up to investigate.
