After 1900 hrs on 27 April the Vice Admiral, Light Forces, Henry Pridham-Wippell, became concerned that "Diamond" had not returned to Souda Bay and was not answering radio signals. "Wryneck" had been ordered to keep radio silence so no attempt was made to radio her. Pridham-Wippell sent the destroyer to the position where "Slamat" had been lost. She found 14 survivors in two Carley floats that night, more floats and another four survivors in the morning, and took the survivors to Crete.
