Liked: When a Destroyer Rammed a Cruiser - HMS Glowworm Documentary Thank you to Wondrium for sponsoring today's video! Signup for your FREE trial to Wondrium here: https://ift.tt/RDzIJv7 Shortly after 9am on April 8th 1940, the British destroyer HMS Glowworm rammed the 18,000 ton German Heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper.
