At 0154B/5, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) sighted what was thought to be the conning tower of a submarine right ahead. It almost immediately disappeared. HMS Tribune dived to listen. Faint HE could be picked up which quickly faded.

No German submarine was in the immediate vicinity so most likely it was another British (or one Free French) submarine from the two patrol lines HMS Tribune and the others were part part of. (7)

10 Sep 1942 (position 68.31, 13.45)
At 0700A/10, two German M-class minesweepers were sighted going from Vesteralen to Grimsostrommen. [We have not been able to identify these two ships.]

At 1037A/10, in approximate position 68°31'N, 13°45'E, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) sighted the German heavy cruisers Admiral Hipper, Admiral Scheer and the light cruiser Köln leaving the Gimsostrommen and steering towards Hval Fjord. They were escorted by 5 destroyers; Z 4 / Richard Beitzen, Z 23, Z 27, Z 29 and Z 30. The range was about 20000 yards so there was no opportunity to attack. Tribune sent a enemy report.

It was thought that the Admiral Scheer was the Tirpitz though. (7)

20 Sep 1942 (position 72.00, 17.52)
HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) encounters the German submarine U-403. Several signals were exchanged but neither submarine was in a position to attack the other. The Germans thought the submarine they encountered was Russian.

(All times are zone -1)
0713 hrs - Sighted conning tower ahead in position 72°00N, 17°52E. Turned towards and endeavoured to close and make a challenge. After 8 minutes several signals were exchanged. The contact was now identified as a German U-boat but it could not be attacked and was out of sight after 10 minutes. (12)

27 Sep 1942 (position 0.00, 0.00)
HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) left patrol to return to Lerwick.

1 Oct 1942
HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) departed Lerwick for Holy Loch. She was escorted by HMS White Bear (Cdr.(Retd.) C.C. Flemming, RN). (14)

3 Oct 1942
Around 1640A/3, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) arrived at Holy Loch.

[As no log is available for October 1942 no details about her detailed exploits during this month are currently known to us.] (15)

13 Oct 1942
HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) proceeded from Holy Loch to Campbeltown from where she was to participate in exercises.

It appears she returned to Holy Loch on 24 October 1942. (16)

31 Oct 1942
Around 1000A/31, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) departed from Holy Loch for Gibraltar.

During the passage south through the Irish Sea she was escorted by HMS Cutty Sark (Cdr.(Retd.) R.H. Mack, RN). They parted company around 2330A/1. (7)

31 Oct 1942 (position 0.00, 0.00)
For the daily positions of HMS Tribune during the passage from Holy Loch to Gibraltar see the map below.

5 Nov 1942 (position 44.02, 12.09)
At 1435A/5, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) sighted the German blockade breaker Kulmerland (7363 GRT, built 1929) in position 44°02'N, 12°09'W proceeding on course 070°. This ship was en-route from the Far East to France. Tribune was not able to attack due to the range being too great (7000 yards). As there were German aircraft patrolling the area it was not possible to surface and give chase. (7)

8 Nov 1942
Around 1330A/8, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) arrived at Gibraltar. (7)

12 Nov 1942
Around 1700A/12, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) departed from Gibraltar for her 15th war patrol (1st in the Mediterranean). Initially she was ordered to patrol off Toulon, France but when Tribune was two days out she was ordered to patrol of Naples, Italy instead. She was routed through the Gulf of Genoa and along the East coast of Corsica to her new patrol area. Later patrol area was shifted to the Tunisia - Sicily area.

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

(7)

18 Nov 1942 (position 43.33, 9.04)
At 2240A/18, in position 43°33'N, 09°04'E, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) sighted a small U-boat steering 050° at 11 knots. This must be either U 73, U 205 or U 380, all of which will reach La Spezia the following day. Tribune could not turn fast enough to get into a good attacking position. The attack had to be abandoned.

[After having plotted the 2000B/18 and 2400B/18 positions of these three uboats (found in their war diaries) it is apparent that the most likely candidate for the one seen by HMS Tribune is U 380. None of the three Uboats mentioned above reported seen anything around this time though.] (17)

19 Nov 1942
At 0646A/19, when east of Bastia, Corsica, in position 42°38'N, 09°45'E, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) sighted smoke bearing 010°. HMS Tribune turned towards and at 0657A/19 the tops of masts could be seen steering about 240°. Ran in at full speed.

At 0711A/19, the tops of two funnels became visible but it also became apparent that the contact would be in Bastia long before HMS Tribune would be in range and at 0748A/19 he indeed entered Bastia. The contact was an older type passenger ship resembling the Gradisca.

During this approach on the target a Generali-class torpedo boat and the masts of two smaller craft, thought to be trawlers were also seen.

A sighting report was sent in the hope the RAF would be able to attack Bastia harbour.

According to MARICOTRAF (Merchant Navy Traffic) the torpedo boat Generale Marcello Prestinari and the auxiliary submarine chasers Regina Elena and Equa were escorting the transport Città di Trieste (Italian, 4658 GRT, built 1915) and ETA in Bastia at 1000B/19. The Prestinari Specchio gives her time of arrival at 1045B/19. This does not quite match the Tribune account one the times though. (7)

21 Nov 1942
At 1410A/21, when patrolling south of Naples, HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) sighted a tanker and a transport hull down steering 360° to the north of Capri Island. They were seen again at 1530A/21 escorted by two trawlers steaming up Naples Bay.

The ships sighted may have been the transports Chisone (Italian, 6168 GRT, built 1922) and Veloce (Italian, 5437 GRT, built 1911) which arrived at Naples around 1745B/21. They had departed Bizerta around 1730B/18 escorted by the torpedo boats Lupo, Aretusa and Orsa. The Chisone had the engine and funnel aft, therefore she resembled a tanker.

They arrived at Naples at 1750B/21 and may have been unable to enter the port immediately after having entered the Bay. (7)

22 Nov 1942
HMS Tribune (Lt. N.J. Coe, DSC, RNR) is depth charged by the Italian torpedo boat Uragano near Capri Island, while on patrol near the southern approaches to Naples, Italy.

Depth charges exploded very close and considerable damage was caused. Tribune managed to slip away and continue her patrol.

0403A/22 - While in position 154°, Campanilla light, 4 nautical miles sighted a darkened ship bearing 320°. Started attack.

0410A/22 - The ship disappeared against the background of Capri Island.

0422A/22 - The ship was now thought to be a light cruiser but later events show it was most likely a large destroyer.

0426A/22 - When about to fire torpedoes the ship turned towards and put up a big bow wave.

0427A/22 - Dived.

0430A/22 - A depth charge attack commenced. Five charges were dropped.

0437A/22 - Five more depth charges were dropped, these were fairly close.

0514A/22 - No HE could be heard but Asdic transmissions were heard all the time.

0540A/22 - Tribune was detected by the enemy's Asdic.

0543A/22 - Three depth charges were dropped.

0551A/22 - Five depth charges were dropped very close. Considerable minor damage was caused. (All was repaired within 48 hours).

0605A/22 - Another pattern of five depth charges was dropped. These were a bit further away.

0625A/22 - Eleven depth charges were dropped much further away. Nothing further was heard.
