Britain honors 110 men as HMS Hunter found in Narvik battle
A wreath was floated over the wreck of HMS Hunter off the Norwegian coast after its discovery by a Norwegian minehunter during NATO exercises. The 2,100 ton destroyer sank April 10, 1940, with 110 crew killed in the first Battle of Narvik as Allied forces tried to avert German overrunning of Narvik. The ceremony involved British Norwegian and Dutch officials and a line of ships passing the sunken site.
