It says heavy Luftwaffe attack with no explanation of specific aircraft. Could have been a 111, or an Fw 200.

I'm going off this list.

Without physically keeping tally it would seem most of the British losses of ships were at the hands of U-Boats, then Stukas, and then heavier aircraft. Which makes sense.
The He 111 was committed to operations in the Arctic Ocean against the Arctic convoys traveling to the Soviet Union from North America and the United Kingdom. One notable action involved I./KG 26 attacking Convoy PQ 17 in June 1942. I./KG 26 and its He 111s sank three ships and damaged three more. Later, III./KG 26 helped Ju 88s of III./KG 30 based at Banak sink several more ships. Some 25 out of 35 merchant ships were sunk altogether.
At least one likely using the Fritz X guided bomb. (Pic is a Henschel Hs.293 though, couldn't find one with a Fritz).

both of these were hit by Fritz-X guided bombs from Do 217 bombers, the Roma sunk afterwards.

What exactly did you expect? A BB or several CAs or something? Merchant shipping is much more valuable.
