Тезаурус:

1. The raiders would also attack the inner (northern "B") caisson, setting charges if possible inside its box sections.
2. Within a couple of minutes of going over the destroyer's port side, Donald Roy's kilted Scotsmen were attacking the pumphouse 50 yards from the caisson ('H' on diagram p. 41).
3. The three squads making for the northern caisson, including Bob Burtenshaw's men who were not needed at the southern caisson, were less fortunate.
4. The tower near the south caisson received more than a hundred hits from the British motor launches and other Royal Navy guns, but the strongpoint on the Old Mole, some 400 yards downstream from the Old Entrance, still commanded the river despite the raiders' fire.
5. Christopher Smalley and four NCOs would demolish the winding-house for this caisson.
6. Aerial photographs showed there was no boom protecting the dry-dock gate (the caisson "E" on diagram p. 41) nor were there any barbed-wire entanglements ashore on the quays.
7. The other two squads had further to go in attacking similar installations around the northern or inner caisson.
8. The destroyer HMS Campbeltown was given an explosive warhead to ram against the outer caisson.
9. Campbeltown took the brunt of the shot and shell, her captain - Lieutenant-Commander S. (Sam) H. Beattie RN - blinded by search-lights yet making last-minute corrections to her course when a rift in the smoke showed she was not heading for the caisson, still 700 yards upriver.
10. Each caisson weighed 240 tons with water in it, and could carry one barge or two narrow boats.
11. At the last moment a heavy incendiary bomb - from an RAF plane - hit the foredeck of Campbeltown but the ship forged ahead, ripped over the anti-torpedo nets, and rammed the caisson.
12. Robert Burtenshaw (also from "No.5"), with six NCOs, had a reserve of explosives to place inside the southern caisson if the destroyer had failed to ram.
13. Placed abaft the column of her forward gun, the warhead would be protected from the impact of ramming the caisson as the bows crumpled, and the eight-hour delay chemical fuses would give the raiders time to get clear before the acid ate through copper discs.
