Attacks on U-24 during this patrol
5 Nov 1942
At 19.18 hours, the boat fired a G7e torpedo at the Soviet M/S trawler T-492 off Poti, but the torpedo passed underneath the bridge. The vessel then forced U-24 to dive by gunfire and was hit by a dud at 21.37 hours. After its last torpedo missed at 00.38 hours on 6 November, the boat surfaced and attacked with the 20mm AA gun but it malfunctioned shortly afterwards, so the Germans had to break off the attack with light machine-gun damage to its conning tower.
