They scraped bottom a number of times but did not actually beach the destroyers. There is a story, possible fictional, that a tank was on the beach firing at a target. The destroyer used his fire as an aiming point and fired a load right into the German position. The tank commander head popped up, he looked out to sea and waved at the ship!
Can you imagine that? A huge ocean going ship so close to the beach they could see a guy WAVE at them?

Did they have any battle ships in that location that day ?
I guess not if resources was low and needed were it really was needed.
