HMS Lawford was an Royal Navy converted frigate HQ Ship off Juno Beach that was hit by enemy fire and sunk during the invasion of France on 8 June 1944. Thirty-seven of her crew died. The Navy's explanation that the ship was downed by a guided bomb had never been fully accepted and a later expedition found proof that the explosion came from inside the ship. This means it was a guided missile, that enters the ships and then detonates, that sank the HMS Lawford.
