The story was heard during research at Churchill College, but the supposed Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve officer has not been identified and the exact action has not been found in a source. In the account, the officer strengthened his boat's bow while preserving enough speed and handling to operate with the flotilla. The boat waited inside the convoy until infiltrating E-boats accelerated for their attack. Its crew then poured heavy gunfire into one craft and rammed a second hard enough to split it. The explicit caveat matters: the story illustrates the dirty, improvised character attributed to coastal fighting, and it should not be treated as a confirmed action report.
