3 Jul, 1944
HMS Ultimatum (Lt. W.H. Kett, DSC, RNR) fires two torpedoes at the German auxilary patrol vessel Uj 6073 / Nimeth Allah off Toulon, southern France. The torpedoes however miss their target.

At 0059 hours Ultimatum sighted a white light flashing morse bearing 340º. Five minutes later two darkened ships were made out steaming on a course of 200º distance 2000 yards. As the vessels were at close range and were signalling, Lt. Kett thought he might be sighted. He turned his submarine stern on to watch events unfold.

At 0109 hours the vessels were identified as a destroyer and a UJ boat, and as they showed no sign of taking action against Ultimatum Lt. Kett altered course to attack.

At 0114 hours four torpedoes were fired. 40 seconds later one torpedo was seen to hit causing a column of water rise 50 feet into the air completely enveloping the target (this actually was not a hit, the torpedo exploded prematurely). Six seconds later a second torpedo was heard to explode but this was not observed as the submarine was now diving towards 150 feet.
