The remaining ships and their escort fired back and the E-boats made no more attacks. In total, 749 servicemen (551 [[United States Army]] and 198 [[United States Navy]]) were killed during Exercise Tiger.<ref name=Fenton-2004/>{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=227}} Many servicemen drowned or died of [[hypothermia]] in the cold sea while waiting to be rescued. Many had not been shown how to put on their lifebelt correctly, and placed it around their waist, the only available spot because of their large backpacks. In some cases this meant that when they jumped into the water, the weight of their combat packs flipped them upside down, dragging their heads under water and drowning them.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|pages=64, 114–115}} Dale Rodman, who travelled on ''LST-507'', commented: "The worst memory I have is setting off in the lifeboat away from the sinking ship and watching bodies float by".<ref name=Stokes/> The 248 bodies that were recovered were sent to [[Brookwood Cemetery]] in Surrey on 29 April.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=237}} The unit with the most casualties was the 1st Special Engineer Brigade.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tiger – The E-Boat Attack |website=[[U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum]] |url=https://qmmuseum.lee.army.mil/d-day/tiger.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001018023652/http://www.qmmuseum.lee.army.mil/d-day/tiger.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 October 2000 |access-date=29 August 2019}}</ref>
