Hi All,

Regarding the attack by U 205 on 13 November 1941,
HMS Legion, which was the starboard wing destroyer in the screen of HMS Malaya, HMS Ark Royal, HMS Argus and HMS Hermione during operation Perpetual, reported a torpedo exploding in her wake.
The other six destroyers present in the screen were; HMS Laforey, HMS Lightning, HMS Gurkha (ii), HMS Sikh, HMS Zulu and the Dutch destroyer HrMs Isaac Sweers.

HMS Ark Royal was torpedoed later this day further west by U-81.

Thank you Brian!
Much appreciated.

The record in the DUIKBOOT master-file has been updated to document 1 of U205's torpedoes exploded in HMS LEGION's wake.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Frans & Walter

Hi Thomas,

I have recently completed (or revised) several submarine histories on uboat.net.
These are;
Unruly
Unsparing
Untiring
Unswerving
Upstart
Clyde
Regent
and the Dutch O 21

Most of these will hold some new information for the ASA database.

Kind regards,

Thank you Brian for your fine research work and the current updates.
