    Could someone please give a link which shows all of the ships which were involved and in support of the Dunkirk evacuations eg minesweepers which only swept mines and had no part in ferrying back our troops.

    I assume there will be an Admitalty List published.

    My thanks to you WTID 45-unfortunately this list is the one which includes only the ships used for the evacuation,Whether there is a supplement showing ALL the ships that were in support of DYNAMO I don't know.

    hi jainso31, I have a copy of A.D.Divines book DUNKIRK (1944) and also Russell Plummer,s " The Ships That Saved An Army"(1990) both which list about 1300 vessels in them. A quick look in the RP book shows that it gives the role that most of the vessels played in the evacuation but it seems that most of the support ships did a run at sometime, for various reasons, to Dunkirk and picked up troops. The books list all the naval vessels involved seperate to the other vessels.
