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.

R.A.E. Aberporth (1979-1990). * Stan Smith remembered: "On D-Day, as a Midshipman RNVR, I was the 1st Lieutenant (second-in-command) of LCT 442, a vessel of the 15th LCT Flotilla in D Squadron of G Force. The captain was Sub Lieutenant E C Lane, RNVR. We sailed from Southampton at 1700 on 4 June, expecting to beach in France the next morning. However, the weather was bad and we were recalled as we were passing the Needles. We secured for the night alongside an American LST in the Solent, and sailed again on the evening of 5 June. The original plan was that we should carry nine British-built Valentine DD (swimming) tanks, but after a disastrous exercise in Studland Bay earlier in the year, in which several Valentines were lost, it was decided that we should carry American-built Sherman DD tanks. Owing to their greater size, we could only accommodate five. Also, because they were heavier than the Valentines and needed a greater depth of water in which to float off, we had to have extensions fitted to the ramp in the form of shallow U-shaped angle-iron channels into which the tanks’ tracks fitted. When the ramp was in the raised position, they stuck up like two huge horns. When the ramp was horizontal, approaching the beach, they had the potential to trap and detonate any obstacles that got in the way. Our tanks belonged to the Sherwood Rangers (troop commander Captain W Eldridge), part of the 50th Northumbrian Division, and we were supposed to launch them three miles off Jig Green beach at H-Hour minus thirty minutes. On our arrival at the launch position the sea conditions were unsuitable to launch so, in accordance with sealed orders, which we were not allowed to open until we were well out to sea, we beached over the obstacles at H-Hour at Asnelles-sur-Mer. My job was to supervise the lowering of the ramp, then to stand on the end of it, very mindful of the ‘horns’, and measure the depth of the water with a sounding pole. It was sufficiently shallow here to allow the first three tanks to swim a few yards before touching down on the sand. Then a mortar bomb exploded about thirty feet behind me on the tank deck. I was unhurt, but one of my sailors was wounded, and the flotation screens of the two remaining tanks were ripped. The captain therefore had to drive the landing craft in closer so that these tanks could leave dry-shod. As they did so, another mortar bomb exploded alongside the last tank. Captain Eldridge was riding on the turret directing operations, and must have been mortally wounded. He still managed to get his troop ashore, but we lost sight of them as they made their way up the beach. By then we were busy with our own problems. Our landing craft was badly damaged by the first mortar bomb and by Teller mines, which had blown a 10-foot hole in the port side, opened up the plating of the port bow and twisted the port rudder hard-a-starboard. Also, another LCT had broached to across our stern and severed the stern anchor wire. Having driven the ship so far up the beach, the captain was having great difficulty getting her off without the stern anchor to heave on. I was busy raising the ramp, and, with the aid of the coxswain, Leading Seaman Armstrong, taking care of our casualty. Eventually, our landing craft slid back into deeper water and floated off. As she moved astern, a stick of three mortar bombs exploded in the water immediately ahead of us – just about where I had been standing a few moments before. We made our way to a hospital ship lying off shore and transferred Able Seaman Laurence into their care. We then proceeded to a pre-arranged collecting area for damaged vessels and joined an ‘old crocks’ convoy for a night passage home."

Hailed by launch. Captain Howson, R.N., Naval Officer in Charge of the beaches, came on board and said we were to be his flagship. We were used throughout the day at Bary, towing loaded boats to the destroyers and, on the return journey, taking empty boats in to the vicinity of the pier, and letting them drift ashore for a fresh load. On some occasions, this was varied by embarking troops on board us, letting the boats drift ashore while we steamed to the destroyers to transfer our load. Our own launch was lowered and, under F. Barter, Yacht Engineer, and Able Seaman W. F. Lunn, was employed towing loaded whalers to destroyers. This routine was maintained throughout the day. It is impossible to give an accurate figure of the number of men helped, but it is estimated that between 900-1000 were ferried off. 1930 - heavy bombing raid, four bombs fell very close to us, causing leaks forward and in the stern tubes. 2000 - left Bray on instructions from Captain Howson and proceeded to Dover. 0815 - berthed Dover. Special mention is made of the work of Yacht Engineer F. Barter and Able Seaman W. F. Lunn, who ran the launch until it was swamped, most of the time under fire and bombing.’

This is what he served aboard the Alynbank, which, after having its bomb removed at Portsmouth, after PQ18, was sent to rendezvous with the Queen Mary off Dakar, to provide a link in the escort of this vessel, which was en-route from Cape Town to Britain with troops. The Alynbank then went to Gibraltar to work with the Malta convoys, he thinks, and he left the ship about this time, at Alexandria, and was flown home in a Dakota, to begin his officer training at King Alfred. From there he went to a two week navigation course at Greenwich, before going to Troon to join a group being organised by Lord Mountbatten, which he calls the Inshore Squadron, consisting of landing craft and MTB's, and which is where he joined LCT(R)167, and went in it to the Mediterranean."
