A Canadian Catalina aircraft (Sqdn 162, pilot W. O Marshall) attacked the boat with 3 depth charges causing extensive damage to the boat, including periscopes and ballast tank. The boat escaped the attack (and drove off the aircraft with flak) but was forced to retreat to Bergen, Norway for repairs. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 630)
