| Scuttled in the Gulf of Taranto on 13th February, 1942 The boat was detected, and there followed a seven-hour depth charge attack by the Italian torpedo boat Circe (Capitano di Corvetta Stephanino Palmas).

The Italians botched the rescue, and of the crew of sixty-three there were twenty-four survivors (twenty-three out of sixty-two, according to the Coxswain). The remainder were lost | |
