At least one battleship (Roma) and the cruiser HMS Spartan were sunk
another battleship (HMS Warspite) was severely damaged as were
two cruisers (HMS Uganda and USS Savanna).

To keep things in perspective regarding Fritz-X, it had a reported 20%
success rate ( www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/annex/an41a.htm ). Probably better
than the US Azon (VB 1 thru 3), and quite an accomplishment by the
standards
of the day, but still a mediocre performer overall.

The success rate would probably have been rather higher had
a jammer for the radio control system not been rushed into
operation.
