History  
Notes on loss On 13 Jul, 1942, U-562 fired a spread of four torpedoes from 2800 metres at a small convoy but missed. At 00.46 hours on next day, Hamm fired two torpedoes at the same convoy and he thought both had hit and claimed a tanker of 7000 grt sunk. In fact the Adinda was hit by one torpedo, but the engine was not damaged and she could proceed to Haifa three hours later, where she arrived at 14.00 hours.
