<HTML>Hi Siri
I think I have found the attacker.
U-84 (Uphoff) reported an unsuccessful attack at an unknown steamer of approximately 2500 GRT in grid BB6739 (46°17N/55°03W) on 19 January 1942. The U-boat fired a spread of two torpedoes at 14.21 hours and heard one hit the ship, but it did not detonate and the other missed. At 14.31 hours, a third torpedo was fired which was a surface runner and missed the ship.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
