By Max Hastings

On 22 May 1941, the HMS Gloucester was sunk by German bombers in the North Sea. The ship was on its way to reinforce the British garrison at Crete when it was attacked. The Gloucester was hit by several bombs and sank quickly, with the loss of 996 men.

The sinking of the Gloucester was a major tragedy for the Royal Navy. It was the largest British warship to be sunk in World War II, and the loss of so many lives was a devastating blow. The Gloucester's sinking also had a significant impact on the Battle of Crete, as the ship was carrying reinforcements that were desperately needed by the British garrison.
