During the campaigns, the Ship's Company were awarded a DSO and bar, three DSCs, eleven DSMs and were Mentioned in Despatches on six occasions. Success on her "Jolly Roger"indicates the sinking of 12 supply ships totalling 40,000 tons, three supply schooners, the disabling of an Italian cruiser disabled and a train shot up.
