| HMS Turbulent was presumed to have mined off Sardinia on or about 14 March 1943. The Submarine had sailed from Algiers on 24th February 1943 for what was to be her last patrol in the Mediterranean before returning home. A signal was sent to Turbulent on 20th March giving a route back to Algiers. No reply was received concerning this signal. It is thought that there were two likely reasons for the loss of Turbulent . These were a depth charge attack by a Ju88 and the Italian Destroyer Ardito on 6th March 1943 in the Bay of Naples or striking a mine in the minefields north and east of Sardinia between 12th and 14th March 1943 The entire crew of sixty-two Officers and Ratings was lost. | |
