Fate: Believed to have been sunk 'With All Hands' on 6th August 1942 after an attack on an Italian convoy in the Mediterranean in position 34°25'N, 22°36'E. A Ju-88 aircraft had been seen to make a machine-gun attack ahead of the convoy. The Italian torpedo boat Pegaso then detected a contact and carried out a series of depth charge attacks. After seven attacks, a large air bubble was seen, as was a large oil slick. HMS Thorn had been expected to arrive at Beirut but was declared overdue on 11th August 1942 when she did not arrive. |
