Rigel incident

My great-uncle, who served on the Implacable at the time, says that the crew did bomb Norwegian installations, but that there was no indication that any ship was sunk. He says that perhaps censorship kept the information from getting out, but I see that the information is unsourced, so perhaps the Implacable didn't actually sink that ship. This might be worth investigation; I assume that the Rigel incident is documented somewhere. Paul Stansifer 03:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
