How many ships were lost to the Henschel Hs 293 guided weapon?
Short answerAbout twelve probable losses, depending on how disputed attacks and scuttled damaged ships are counted.
NotesThe count includes ships sunk outright and ships scuttled after irreparable damage, rather than limiting the total to vessels that disappeared immediately. It also marks disputed cases such as Janus instead of pretending every weapon attribution is certain. Working through the examples produces a provisional total of about twelve losses. That result must be read against the weapon's limited deployment, because many ships were damaged and relatively few Hs 293 rounds were available.
