Fate: Submarine P222 failed to arrive at Algiers and was reported overdue on 21st December 1942. It was claimed that she was sunk by a depth charge attack from the Italian torpedo boat De Fortunale on 12th December, south-east of Isola di Capri in position 40°29'N, 14°20'E. This is assumed to be the reason for the submarine's loss with all hands on 12th December 1942. |
