Like XE-3, Lieutenant Smart also left the believed safe channel during his long approach up the Singapore Straits and entered mined waters to avoid suspected hydrophone posts. XE-1's target was a heavy cruiser of the Nachi class berthed about two miles beyond the Atago cruiser which XE-3 was to attack. Unfortunately XE-1 was delayed in her attack owing to several encounters with surface craft and instead of passing the boom ahead of XE-3 as planned, actually passed it go minutes after XE-3. This robbed Lieutenant Smart of the necessary margin of time to reach his target and withdraw before dark and he accordingly decided to attack the Atago class cruiser. Unable to get his craft underneath the target he dropped his main charge close alongside it and withdrew. The passage involved the same great hazards as those faced by XE-3 and Lieutenant Smart displayed great courage throughout this hazardous operation.	03.10.1938 joined RNVR, Tyne Division 19.08.1939 - (04.1940) HMS Malaya (battleship) (02.1941) HMS Stag (RN base, Port Said) * (12.1941)     no appointment listed 01.02.1943 - (12.1943) 12th Submarine Flotilla [HMS Varbel (midget submarine base, Port Bannatyne)]: (09.1943) Commanding Officer, HMS X-8 (midget submarine) (Tirpitz action) 01.03.1944 - (06.1944) 12th Submarine Flotilla [HMS Varbel (midget submarine base, Port Bannatyne)]: (06.1944) Commanding Officer, HMS X-25 (midget submarine) 07.12.1944 - (07.1945) HMS Bonaventure (midget submarine depot ship, Loch Striven): (07.1945) Commanding Officer, HMS XE-1 (midget submarine) (Takeo action) Stockbroker with Pemberton Securities, a Vancouver firm.
