24 Feb 1943
HMS Brixham (Lt. G.A. Simmers, RNVR) picks up 53 men from the American merchant Nathanael Greene that was torpedoed and damaged by the German submarine U-565 about 40 nautical miles northeast of Oran in position 35º56'N, 00º05'E.
Brixham took the Nathanael Greene in tow until the British rescue tug HMRT Restive took over at 21.00 hours and beached the vessel at Salamanda, four miles west of Mostaganem at 06.30 hours the next day.
