The Action of 13 May 1942 was a naval engagement during World War II between the British Royal Navy and the German Kriegsmarine. It was an attempt by Royal Navy Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs) to stop the German auxiliary cruiser ''Stier'' from reaching Gironde, France. ''Stier ''made it through the English Channel and reached Gironde, but MTBs sunk the German fleet torpedo boats ''Iltis'' and ''Seeadler''. MTB 220 was sunk by the German ships. ==Background== The ''Stier'' was an auxiliary cruiser, a former merchant ship armed with hidden weapons and designed to be used as a merchant raider. The German plan was for ''Stier'', disguised as the minesweeper ''Sperrbrecher 171'', to be escorted through the English Channel to Gironde, France. From there, ''Stier ''was to break out into the Atlantic to attack Allied merchant ships. The escort for ''Stier'' was the 5th Torpedo Boat Flotilla, consisting of the torpedo boats ''Seeadler'', ''Kondor'', ''Falke'', and ''Iltis'' as well as 16 R-boat minesweepers. The torpedo boats were all ''Raubvogel''or ''Raubtier'' class. ''Stier'' left Rotterdam with the escort on 12 May, heading into the channel.
