Not to nitpick but the Roma was the first ship to be successfully sunk by Friz X guided bombs. I remember reading (and then just checked again) about prior combat uses although they were not recognized at the time by the Allies as radio controlled bombs.

After the Roma, the USS Savannah was the next victim but was hit with only one Fritz X and was, after hours of damage control, able to limp out of combat.

There's quite a few instances where the bomb was used I was surprised to find out. Quite a few ships were hit despite the weapon being used by only one unit.
