Attacks on U-660 during this patrol
25 Aug 1942
At 14.31 hours, HNoMS Potentilla obtained a radar contact when returning to convoy ONS-122 together with HMS Viscount and the destroyer went off to investigate it. Three minutes later, U-660 was spotted on the surface in foggy weather and to avoid ramming damage HMS Viscount forced the U-boat to dive by opening fire but a first depth charge attack was spoiled, so the destroyer made a new approach and dropped five heavy depth charges. Afterwards HMS Viscount tried to carry out a Hedgehog attack but lost trace and she and HNoMS Potentilla were unable to regain contact, dropping single depth charges when leaving for the convoy after about one hour. The U-boat was not damaged in this attack. (Sources: ADM reports, KTB U-660)
3 Sep 1942
The attack by the British Whitley aircraft (77 Sqdn RAF/V) on 3 Sept, 1942 in position 47.55N, 10.04W long belived to have sunk U-705 was in fact aimed at the U-660 but causing no damage to that boat. (Sources: 1987-11-01, FDS/NHB)
