Which British aircraft sank the first major warship by dive bombing?

The Blackburn B-24 Skua was a two-seat, single-engine, low-wing carrier aircraft built by the British company Blackburn Aircraft. It was the Royal Navy's first all-metal cantilever-wing carrier monoplane, and the first dive bomber in service with the Fleet Air Arm (FAA). It was also the FAA's first service monoplane, marking a radical change for a force equipped mostly with open-cockpit biplanes. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 9 February 1937. Initial deliveries began in late 1938 and the first unit to receive it was 800 Naval Air Squadron. In November 1938 the Skua entered service with the FAA, with 33 aircraft operational.

On 10 April 1940, sixteen Skuas from 800 and 803 NAS, led by Lieutenant-Commander William Lucy, took off from RNAS Hatston, in the Orkneys, and flew 330 miles overnight to arrive at dawn over the port of Bergen, right at the very edge of their range. There they attacked and sank the Königsberg with several direct hits. The Königsberg was the first major warship sunk in a war by an air attack, and the first major warship sunk by dive bombing.

In the actions off Norway, Skuas destroyed 28 Luftwaffe aircraft in aerial combat.
