Operation EJ and Penelope's Norwegian service

Penelope's Norwegian service included Operation EJ's air attack on shipping at Glomfjord, work with HMS Eskimo, and a major repair to her bottom.

Notes

Penelope took part in Operation EJ, a comparatively little-known air attack on German shipping at Glomfjord. The attack achieved some success and caused the Germans considerable concern. Her Norwegian service also included work with the Tribal-class destroyer HMS Eskimo. Penelope needed a tow clear of a fjord and extensive rebuilding of her bottom, damage she survived before continuing her wartime career.
