| History | Completed in April 1937. At 13.55 hours on 8 June 1942, the trawler was damaged by a dud off Port Said, while escorting the Norwegian motor tanker Athene from Haifa to Alexandria. But neither a German or Italian submarine reported an attack in this area, so it was probably from a torpedo aircraft or not a dud at all. Sold in August 1945. |
