| History | | ||
| Notes on loss | At 07.54 hours on 24 Feb, 1943, the Ingria (Master Fredrik Ditlefsen) in convoy ON-166 was struck by one FAT torpedo from U-600 (Zurmühlen) between #4 hold and the engine room. The crew abandoned the vessel when the deck was awash. At the same time, 08.13 hours, U-628 fired a spread of four FAT torpedoes, followed by a stern shot two minutes later and heard five explosions, thus claiming two ships sunk and another damaged. The Ingria was only sunk instantly by one further torpedo hit, so the other explosions were probably depth charges from the HMCS Rosthern (K 169), which later picked up the survivors. | ||
