SS SAMARINA

[bettika61]

Hallo,
Lt. HMA http://www.historisches-marinearchiv.de/projekte/kleinkampfmittel/seehunde/ausgabe.php?where_value=313
wurde U 5312 am 5.1.1945 von einem "Patroillenboot" gerettet.
Lawrence Paterson in "waffen der Verzweiflung" nennt das
Patroillenboot " SS SAMARINA" .
Kennt jemand bei der RN ein Schiff mit diesem Namen?

Ich habe nur gefunden das Libertyschiff SS SAMARINA (1943 7219 brt)
das zu diesem Zeitpunkt mit MT 115 Richtung Antwerpen fuhr, aber sicher kein "Patroillenboot"

Hallo Beate,

ich habe hier aus dem Admirality War Diary:

06.01.1945
Noth Sea.
1(a)[...]
b) A midget U-Boat, SEEHOUND type, scuttled herself off Ostend and the crew were picked up by a Coastal Force Unit.
The midget U-Boat towed under by LADY BRASSEY in Dover Harbour on December 30th has now been located. It is hoped to raise and beach her tomorrow.

[...]

Midget U-Boat sunk off Ostend.
Following received begins: From C.F.M.U.1 to C. in C. Nore.
