| Notes on loss | At 20.17 hours on 18 Oct, 1941, U-132 fired a torpedo at a steamer of 1500 tons north of Kackovskij and reported a hit after 16 seconds and the sinking of the vessel in 32 seconds. The victim was probably RT-8 Seldī that was reported in Soviet sources as lost off the Gorlo Strait by underwater explosion on 26 October. | ||
