Notable events involving Trevo Terceiro include:


14 Dec 1942
Around 2115A/14, HMS Thrasher (Lt. H.S. Mackenzie, DSO, RN) arrived at Falmouth. She was escorted in by HMS Finesse (T/Lt. J.E. Freestone, RNR) and HMS William Mannel (Skr. H.J. Meyer, RNR).

HMS Thrasher had encountered heavy weather during the later stages of her passage to the U.K. which had also caused some damage to the submarine. It was therefore decided to proceed to Falmouth to effect some repairs. (1)
