Submarine HMS Triumph (i) (N 18)
26 Dec 1939
HMS Triumph (Lt.Cdr. J.W. McCoy, RN) hits a German mine in the North Sea in position 56º44'N, 05º00'E. Her bow was badly damaged, but fortunately the torpedoes in the torpedo tubes did not detonate. Some eighteen feet of bow was blown off and her pressure hull was also damaged. The boat managed to limp back home under the protection of fighter aircraft and destroyers. Triumph was under repair at Chatham Dockyard until 27 September 1940.
