HNoMS Svenner was a S-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War and loaned to exiled Royal Norwegian Navy. Svenner was sunk off Sword, one of the Allied landing zones in Normandy, at dawn on 6 June 1944 while supporting the British Army Normandy landings. DescriptionSvenner displaced {{convert|1710|LT|t}} at standard load and {{convert|2530|LT|t}} at deep load. She had an overall length of {{convert|362|ft|9|in|1}}, a beam of {{convert|35|ft|8|in|1}} and a deep draught of {{convert|14|ft|6|in|1}}. She was powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The turbines developed a total of {{convert|40000|shp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|36|kn|lk=in}}. Svenner carried a maximum of {{convert|615|LT|t}} of fuel oil that gave her a range of {{convert|4675|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|20|kn}}. Her complement was 170 officers and ratings.[2]The ship was armed with four 45-calibre 4.7-inch (120 mm) Mark XII guns in dual-purpose mounts. For anti-aircraft (AA) defence, Svenner had one twin mount for Bofors 40 mm guns and four twin {{convert|20|mm|adj=on|1}} Oerlikon autocannon. She was fitted with two above-water quadruple mounts for {{convert|21|in|adj=on|0}} torpedoes. Two depth charge rails and four throwers were fitted for which 70 depth charges were provided.[3] Construction and careerThe ship was launched on 1 June 1943 as the Royal Navy ship HMS Shark (G03), but was rechristened HNoMS Svenner when she was commissioned in the Royal Norwegian Navy in 1944. The ship was hit by two torpedoes fired from one of two German T-boats, either Jaguar or Moewe of 5th Torpedo Flotilla operating out of Le Havre, that managed to get within firing range. Svenner was the only Allied ship to be sunk by German naval activity on the morning of 6 June. She was struck amidships, exploded, broke in two and sank very quickly. 1 British and 32 Norwegian crewmen were killed, 185 (15 wounded) were rescued from the crew of 219. (The book D-Day by Stephen Ambrose contains a photograph, in the 16 pages of photographs after page 160, of the moment that the Svenner blew up.) The anchor from Svenner was recovered in 2003, and now forms 'The Svenner Memorial' at Sword. The memorial can be found approximately 100 yards on the sea-side of the coast road at Hermanville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France.
