Aus HMS SAFARI (uboat.net)
Zitat17 Nov 1942
HMS P 211 (Cdr. B. Bryant, DSC, RN) fired a torpedo at a number of German barges anchored at Ras Ali. The barges F 358, F 360 and F 545 were present but none were hit.

The exact time of the attack is not recorded in P 211's report, the German war diaries of Seetransportstelle Ras Aali gives the time as 0800 hours. The torpedo hit the mole and destroyed it on a length of 25 metres. Five were killed and about fifteen wounded. One German source mentions that the minesweeper R 15 was damaged on this day but although she was present, the diaries of Ras Aali do not confirm it.

Im KTB der 6. Räumboot-Flottille wird bestätigt, dass R15 durch den Nahtreffer in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde:
Torpedotreffer auf Anlegebrücke, 5m vom Boot entfernt, 1 Schwer-, 1 Leichtverletzter, Schäden am Boot.

Schönen Sonntag noch,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for the confirmation of the damage to R 15 and the casualties. I will inform Brian Corijn of uboat.net to make the adjustment.

Best regards,

Platon
