At 04.57 hours on 8 April 1942 the unescorted Nemanja (Master Karlo Loser) was hit on the starboard side between #3 hold and side bunker by one torpedo from U-84 while steaming on a zigzag course at 8.5 knots in a very dark night about 180 miles south-southeast of Cape Sable, Nova Scotia. The U-boat had chased the ship for 10 hours and missed with a spread of two torpedoes at 02.57 hours. The survivors immediately abandoned ship in one damaged lifeboat in rough sea after attempts to send distress signals failed as the aerials came down together with the main mast. U-84 surfaced shortly afterwards and left the area without questioning the survivors after firing a coup de grâce from the stern torpedo tube at 05.42 hours. The ship sank quickly after being hit the second time. The master, nine crew members and three British gunners (the ship was armed with one 3” gun) were lost. At 12.00 hours on 9 April, the survivors were picked up by Franche Comte and landed at Halifax on 11 April.
