The Cushioncraft CC-6 18-ton mixed-traffic ferry craft was to be built jointly by the Vosper-Thorneycroft shipbuilding group at Portsmouth.
After the action the boat was returned to the United Kingdom where it was on display first at the Imperial War Museum in London and then at the Vosper works on Platt’s Eyot (island) on the River Thames near Kingston for many years with a Victoria Cross painted on the side until the Vosper works there closed.
