History  
Notes on loss At 12.16 hours on 30 July, U-77 fired torpedoes at a small destroyer and heard three hits, but no detonations, after 61 seconds. However, seven minutes later there was a dull (presumed internal) explosion. U-77 may have hit the Fany, which was not spotted as she was sailing beyond the escort vessel that was targeted.
