Is that on top of the 950 that were killed when several transports were ambushed by German E-boats during an exercise?

[Does so]

I don’t think so, but the end discussion is that the practice destination was poorly protected by land or sea that could have held off the expected Nazi attack. (They’d scanned the beach the day before). Sad enough to lose troops to friendly fire at the same time.
