Just before the Campbeltown exploded, Sam Beattie was being interrogated by a German naval officer who was saying that it wouldn’t take very long to repair the damage the Campbeltown has caused. Just at that moment, she went up. Beattie smiled at the officer and said, ‘We’re not quite as foolish as you think!’[73]
The explosive charges in HMS Campbeltown detonated at noon on 28 March 1942, and the dry dock was destroyed.[68] Reports vary on the fate of the two tankers that were in the dock; they were either swept away by the wall of water and sunk,[69] or swept to the far end of the dock, but not sunk.[70] A party of 40 senior German officers and civilians who were on a tour of Campbeltown were killed. In total, the explosion killed about 360 men.[71] The wreck of Campbeltown could still be seen inside the dry dock months later when RAF photo reconnaissance planes were sent to photograph the port.[72]
