    under "Combat performance" in the Wiki link it shows all the ships damaged or sunk by these missiles:

    On August 25, 1943, an Hs 293 was used in the first successful attack by a guided missile, striking the sloop HMS Bideford; however, as the warhead did not detonate, the damage was minimal. On August 27, the sinking of the British sloop HMS Egret by a squadron of 18 Dornier Do 217 carrying Hs 293s led to anti-U-boat patrols in the Bay of Biscay being temporarily suspended.[9] On November 26, an Hs 293 sank the troop transport HMT Rohna killing over 1,000 personnel.
    Other ships sunk or damaged by the Hs 293 include:
