0918 hours - Fired a full salvo of six torpedoes. It is thought the one hit was obtained but this was not the case. When P 219 returned to periscope depth after a while only the seaplane was in sight.

[Italian fighters escorting the convoy sighted the torpedo tracks and gave the alarm. The destroyer Granatiere was narrowly missed 15 metres ahead by a torpedo and 10 metres astern by another, Ankara was missed by a third torpedo.]

-------------------------------------------

1453 hours - Sighted smoke bearing 240°.

1511 hours - Sighted two supply ships of 5000 tons escorted by a destroyer, two E-boats with a floatplane patrolling overhead. Enemy course was 050 degrees, speed 10 knots. P 219 had only the stern torpedo remaining so set up an attack to fire this last torpedo.

1545 hours - When about to open fire depth control was lost and P 219 almost broke surface. A new attack had now to be set up.

1707 hours - In position 38°13'N, 11°44'E fired the stern torpedo from 3400 yards at the 2nd ship. It missed. No counter attack followed.

[Sant’Antioco reported missed by a torpedo, there was no reaction from the escorts.] (10)

For the daily and attack positions of HMS P 219 during this patrol see the map below.

(10)

23 Dec 1942 (position 37.17, 8.27)
From 0616 to 1420 hours HMS P 219 (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, RN) carried out a periscope reconnaissance of Galita Island. At 1420 hours a shore gun opened fire at the periscope. P 219 went to 60 feet and withdrew.

At 2055 hours P 219tries to ram (and sink) an unidentified submarine about 40 nautical miles north-east of Bone, Algeria in position 37°17'N, 08°27'E. (Although two Italian submarines were in the area (Alagi and Mocenigo), none reported any collision.)

(All times are zone -1)
2055 hours - Sighted a submarine 25 degrees on the starboard bow, pointing directly towards. Turned towards and dived in position 37°17'N, 08°27'E. While coming up from 120 feet a collision occurred forwards at 60 feet. Three heavy bumps were felt. Surfaced. Two periscopes were sighted 100 yards on the starboard beam. Dived and turned towards the H.E. in the hope of carrying out a submerged attack.

2105 hours - Lost contact with the H.E. and gave up the attack.

2153 hours - Surfaced. (10)

24 Dec 1942 (position 27.26, 8.02)
HMS P 219 (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, RN) again encountered the Italian submarine Mocenigo. Three torpedoes were fired but no hits were obtained.

(All times are zone -1)
1953 hours - Sighted a submarine close on the starboard side on an opposite course. Turned towards to attack.

1956 hours - In position 37°26'N, 08°02'E fired three torpedoes. The enemy altered course away on firing the first torpedo. The first torpedo ran straight all the way to the conning tower and never looked like missing. As three torpedo tubes were damaged due to yesterday’s collision, only three torpedoes from the undamaged tubes could be fired.

1958 hours - Went to gun actions but the target meanwhile had dived.

2002 hours - Dived.

2202 hours - Surfaced in position 37°29'N, 08°00'E.

2227 hours - Sighted two bright flashes about 6000 yards bearing 300°. Splashes were seen 200 yards off the port side.

2228 hours - Dived to 120 feet. Heard no H.E. Nothing was further sighted or heard.

[The Italian submarine had observed the British submarine which was described as of the Oberon-class and reported that the enemy had fired one round at her (although this is not confirmed in Seraph’s patrol report). Mocenigo turned away just in time and a torpedo was seen missing her by only 2-3 metres on the port side. She then fired back a single torpedo from a stern tube but the smoke of her diesel engines obscured the vision. The Italian submarine dived and could not regain contact.] (10)

HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) attacked a small merchant vessel or large trawler with three torpedoes east-north-east of La Maddalena. No hits were obtained.

This was Capitaine Luigi (former French, 3176 GRT, built 1922) escorted by the torpedo-boat Libra and later joined by the corvette Folaga.

(All times are zone -1)
2011 hours - Sighted smoke bearing 115°. Closed.

2100 hours - Light was fading now but a small merchant vessel and a submarine were sighted. Another ship was most likely also present as more smoke was sighted to starboard. [there were no Axis submarine in the area.]

2110 hours - Started to attack the submarine but as darkness was now rapidly coming down the target was lost at 2136 hours.

2200 hours - Surfaced and picked up the targets with radar.

2229 hours - The nearest vessel, a small merchant vessel or large trawler could be seen. Decided to attack this vessel and fired three torpedoes from 1800 yards in position 41°02'N, 10°07'E. The ship started to turn towards as the second torpedo was fired so all missed.

2230 hours - Dived.

2254 hours - A pattern of four depth charges was dropped to starboard but caused no damage.

2255 hours - Another pattern of four depth charges was dropped to starboard but also caused no damage.

2354 hours - Two depth charges were dropped a long way astern. Nothing further was heard or seen.

[The Italian ships observed two torpedo tracks and Libra dropped two depth charges for intimidation purposes. She was joined by Folaga but no submarine contact was obtained before 0159/28 when a pattern of depth charges was dropped but it was not very convincing and the convoy resumed its passage to La Maddalena.] (10)

30 May 1943 (position 41.28, 9.45)
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) attacked an Armed Merchant Cruiser with one torpedo North-East of La Maddalena. The torpedo missed. [The tanker Tirso (2175 GRT, built 1906) was in the area at that time but did not fit the description.]

(All times are zone -1)
1615 hours - Sighted smoke due north.

1618 hours - Top of mast and funnel visible. Seraph was dead ahead.

1634 hours - The enemy altered course 30° to starboard. Closed at full speed but a good attack position could not be reached as the enemy was doing about 20 knots.

1640 hours - In position 41°28'N, 09°45'E fired one torpedo from 6000 yards although it was thought to be unlikely that it could hit the target before the end of her run.

1648 hours - The torpedo exploded. The enemy briefly turned towards but after about 5 minutes resumed her original course. It is thought the target was an Armed Mechhant Cruiser. (10)

31 May 1943 (position 41.35, 9.42)
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) attacked an enemy convoy with two torpedoes west of Civitavecchia. No hits were obtained.

(All times are zone -1)
0850 hours - In position 41°35'N, 09°42'E sighted two 3000 tons merchant vessel escorted by an older type torpedo-boat. An aircraft was patrolling overhead. Started attack.

0933 hours - On opening the bow caps most likely air escaped. It seems likely Seraph was spotted from the air as both merchant vessels turned away.

0936 hours - Fired a torpedo up stern from the merchant furthest away. Range was 3500 yards.

0937 hours - Fired a torpedo up stern from the closest merchant. Range was 1200 yards.

No hits were obtained although one of the torpedoes was heard to explode. Following the attack several depth charges were dropped but these caused no damage to Seraph.

[Elbano Gasperi first sighted the torpedoes and gave the alarm, one of them missing by only 20 metres. She fired 22 rounds with her 76mm gun and 33 machine gun rounds at the submarine. Carini arrived on the scene and dropped a few depth charges.] (10)

2 Sep 1943 (position 32.20, 9.30)
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) attacked an enemy convoy west-south-west of Gorgona Island. This convoy consisted of the merchantmen Melfi (4866 GRT, built 1929, former French President Dal Piaz) and Altamura (3200 GRT, built 1932, former French Pascal Paoli) escorted by the torpedo-boats Orsa and Ardimentoso on passage from Bastia to La Spezia. One torpedo was fired which missed.

(All times are zone -1)
1335 hours - While on patrol west of Gorgona sighted smoke which turned out to be a convoy of two merchant vessel of about 6000 tons with escorts. Started attack.

As the convoy was heavily zig-zagging the setup failed and only one torpedo was fired at one of the merchant ships from 1900 yards. It missed. Position of the attack was 43°20'N, 09°30'E.

[A torpedo track was seen by one of the merchantman who alerted Ardimentoso but no action was taken.] (10)

3 Sep 1943 (position 42.36, 9.33)
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) attacked an enemy convoy with four torpedoes south-east of Bastia, Corsica, France. No hits were obtained. This convoy consisted of Tigrai (1302 GRT, built 1918) and Tellaro (2234 GRT, built 1920) escorted by the torpedo-boats Impetuoso and Generale Achille Papa and had sailed from Bastia to La Maddalena.

(All times are zone -1)
0827 hours - Sighted smoke. Closed to attack. The smoke was soon seen to come from two 3000 tons merchant vessels escorted by an Italian older type torpedo-boat and another escort vessel.

In position 42°36'N, 09°33'E fired four torpedoes at the two overlapping merchant vessels and the torpedo boat. Range was between 3000 to 5000 yards. One of the torpedoes exploded 12 seconds after firing. The other torpedoes exploded after 3 to 4 minutes but the results could not be observed.

Following the firing of the torpedoes depth control was lost and Seraph hit the bottom at 110 feet. A counter attack now followed. The first stick of depth charges was some way off but then another escort joined the attack and two accurate attacks were then carried out causing some minor damage.

[The two Italian torpedo boats depth charged the submarine but did not observe any result.] (10)

9 Sep 1943
After the Italian armistice HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) boarded the small Italian coaster Janus near Civitavecchia. As she had received no instructions what to do after the armistice they were given instructions. She was then allowed to proceed. (10)

10 Sep 1943
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) destroyed four small craft with gunfire South-East of Piombino, Italy.

(All times are zone -1)
0719 hours - Sighted two German 'R'-boats, one in tow of the other.

0728 hours - Surfaced in position 42°45'N, 10°45'E for gun action. Five aircraft, FW 187's according to the patrol report but more likely they were ME Bf 110's, forced Seraph to break off the action after only six rounds.

----------------------------------------

1028 hours - Sighted two tank landing craft, again one towing the other. Surfaced in position 42°48'N, 10°43'E to engage with gunfire. After three rounds had been fired the enemy also opened fire and soon found the range. Fortunately the second landing craft caught fire shortly afterwards. The crew was seen to jump overboard. Fire could now be concentrated on the first landing craft which soon also caught fire. Both burnt furiously for about one hour. Eight further tank landing craft escorted by two 'R'-boats then appeared forcing Seraph to dive. Several more of these 'convoys' were seen during the day. [These appear to be the German barges Eva and Margot.]

----------------------------------------

1645 hours - Sighted two armed barges. Surfaced in approximate position 42°48'N, 10°42'E and engaged with gunfire. Both were hit before Seraph was forced to dive when aircraft approached. When these had passed Seraph surfaced again and continued the action. After several more hits the crew of the leading barge abandoned ship. The second barge was then engaged and after two hits ran herself ashore. The crew rapidly abandoned ship. Seraph closed to 1000 yards and obtained two more hits after which she started to burn. She blew up violently a few minutes later. Seraph then set course for the first barge and the last three rounds of 3" (star shell) were fired into her with apparently no success. Seraph then closed with the intention to board and place a demolition charge. When she came alongside smoke was seen coming from the hold and with the second barge fate in mind Seraph cast off and set off at high speed. This barge was seen to explode at 1855 hours. (10)

11 Sep 1943 (position 42.31, 11.01)
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) twice attacked enemy transports during this day north-west of Argentario. It appears that in the second attack a torpedo hit was obtained and that the target might have been damaged.

(All times are zone -1)
0710 hours - In positions 42°31'N, 11°01'E sighted a German 'KT'-transport ship escorted by two 'E'-boats. Started attack in which three torpedoes were fired from 1500 yards. Two torpedoes were heard to explode at the correct interval but when Seraph returned to periscope depth smoke was sighted rounding Argentario. It was thought this was coming from the target and that the torpedoes had missed. [The target appears to have been KT-14 (834 GRT, built 1943).]

------------------------------------------

1125 hours - In position 42°24'N, 11°03'E sighted a small merchant vessel escorted by an 'E'-boat. Started attack in which two torpedoes were fired from 5000 yards. One torpedo was heard to explode after six minutes, this was about the running range. The vessel stopped and appeared to list heavily to port but she continued after 10 minutes and a second attack had to be broken off. (10)

At 2303 hours (zone -1), in position 41°59'N, 06°40'E, gun flashes were sighted. Seraph turned towards. At 2308 hours a U-Boat was sighted at a range of 2800 yards. The tubes were brought to the ready but the U-Boat dived before Lt. Jewell could engage.

Seraph was by now on the way back to Algiers as she had received a signal recalling her from patrol as she was to be sent to the Levant station (Eastern Mediterranean). (10)

HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) sank the Greek sailing vessel Agios Vasilios / SYR 739 (7 GRT ???) with gunfire north of Paros.

Later the same day she attacked but missed the German patrol vessel GA 01 with two torpedoes north of Naxos. The torpedoes missed astern as GA 01 turned hard to port. She was in company with GA 54. Both German patrol vessels then counter attacked but Seraph was not damaged.

(All times are zone -3)
0812 hours - Sighted the sails of a caique. Closed.

1011 hours - Surfaced in position 37°14'N, 25°14'E and fired one round of 3". The crew of two abandoned ship and pulled towards Seraph. After it was established that the cargo was wine for Mykonis the caique was hit with four rounds of 3" but it did not sink. A hand grenade was then dropped into the bilge but this also did not sink her. The caique was then set on fire.

------------------------------------------

1212 hours - On closing Cape Stauro the upper works of two vessels were sighted. After closing at full submerged speed for 15 minutes it was seen that the nearest one had large numbers of men on the upper deck and appeared to be some kind of small transport.

In position 37°13'N, 25°25'E fired two torpedoes from 2000 yards. The torpedo tracks were sighted and evaded. The ship then turned towards and it was now seen that this attack was a bad error as it was not a transport but both vessels were now seen to be patrol vessels and both started to hunt the submarine. During the counter attack 58 depth charges in all were dropped but none was nearer then a mile away. As they were not near Seraph remained at periscope depth throughout the hunt. (10)

5 Nov 1943 (position 35.21, 26.42)
HMS Seraph (Lt. N.L.A. Jewell, OBE, RN) sank the Greek sailing vessel Miltiades / SAM 33 (150 GRT) with gunfire off the Kaso Strait east of Crete, Greece.

(All times are zone -3)
2318 hours - Sighted a vessel down moon and closed.
