List of Naval units that participated in Naval actions around Norway
Action at 8 and 9.April
A confused search for the German naval units that had been reported in the
North Sea resulted in only two surface actions.
| Glowworm | Destroyer | Sunk 8.April in action with Hipper and two destroyers. Sank when it rammed Hipper. |
| Renown | Battle Cruiser | Fought with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau at 04:00 on 9.April. |

First battle of Narvik 10.April
The Commander of the 2nd Destroyer Flotilla decides to try to take care of
the German destroyers in Narvik. Unfortunately they are twice as many as
reported, and the British are lucky to get an even score. Two destroyers lost on
both sides.
