Found this 1989 article on a search engine. I was actually looking for another recent article and which uses this site as a source, to link to, but I can't find it. This other article is rather interesting though, if you over look some of the common errors of most general news articles about the Bismarck. This article claims that one of the supply ships for Rhine Exercise was boarded parallel to the weather ships captures to obtain Enigma keys:

More errors and holes than a piece of swiss cheese. Utter crap most of it.

Indeed.

Especially the part about the supply ship, but then the writer was a journalist.

That is one of the reasons I posted the link, despite all the errors. I had never heard of this particular boarding to capture Enigma keys before. I wonder if he had it mixed up with the boardings of the weather ships before and after Rhine Ubung?

Hi All,

I can't even find a reference to a ship called Gdynia

All the best

There was an SS Gydnia, but she was sunk by Stukas on 2 September 1939. I should think any German ship named after the port would have had the name Gotenhafen instead.
