Hello David,

the VALA was involved in several "meetings" with german U-boats:

22.11.1916: VALA was missed by one torpedo
26.12.1916: VALA was damaged by gunfire from UC 46 off Milford Haven
03.01.1917: VALA had a gunfight with UB 18 South of Lizard Head
21.04.1917: VALA was damaged in an gunfight with an U-boat South of Ireland
24.04.1917: VALA was damaged in an gunfight with UC 47 off the Scillies
20.05.1917: VALA was damaged in an gunfight with UC 44 off Fastnet Rock
21.05.1917: VALA was followed by UC 44, but was to far off for an attack
20.07.1917: VALA had an gunfight with UC 41 South of Ireland
20.08.1917: VALA was finally sunk by UB 54

You can see, she had a very busy life!

Oliver
