Hi Torstein and Antonio!

I found this in
Alistair Mars:British Submarines at War 1939-1945:

\"Commander G M Sladen,in TRIDENT,entered Selbjorne Fjord,
remaining in the enclosed waters for two days.
On 2nd May (1940) he fired torpedoes at a 5 000 ton German supply ship
but the torpedoes ran under,for the vessel was in ballast.
Greatly daring,in an area dominated by Luftwaffe,Sladen surfaced
and blazed away with his 4\" gun until the enemy ship put herself aground
on Skorpa Island.

The German vessel CLARE H STEINS,(the author´s spelling),
recieved a parting shot of a torpedoe in her forehold.
TRIDENT left the scene hastily.
Although forced to dive by aircraft,and hunted by A/S vessels,
she arrived at Rosyth two days later.\"

Best regards/Anders.</HTML>
