 The British had failed to stop the raiders from destroying the drifters and 45 men were killed , four wounded and 10 taken prisoner . Six ships were sunk in addition to Flirt , the transport Queen and three destroyers , three drifters and a naval trawler were damaged . Of the German torpedo boats , only SMS G91 suffered any damage and no German vessel suffered any casualties . The success of the raid encouraged the Germans to plan more sorties into the English Channel and the raids continued until the 3rd and 9th Torpedo Boat Flotillas were redeployed to the High Seas Fleet in November 1916 .
