Notes on event

At 17.36 hours on 30 July 1944 U-481 fired a Gnat at group of coastal minesweepers in the Narva Bay and observed a hit after 35 seconds and saw the KT-804 sink. At 17.40 hours, a second Gnat was fired that detonated after 1 minutes 55 seconds. Andersen could not observe the sinking of KT-807, but he saw how the damaged KT-806 was towed away. The U-boat later found wreckage in the area.

KT-806 was repaired and returned to service as KT-376 on 6 October 1944.
