18 Feb 1942
Around 1130B/18, HMS Unique (Lt. A.F. Collett, DSC, RN) ended her 20th war patrol (18th in the Mediterranean) at Malta. This was another frustrating patrol patrol with several sightings but no attack carried out.
At 0544B/18, while approaching Malta, HMS Unique grounded in position 089° - Rinella south-west high W/T mast - 1500 yards. She was refloated after a few hours with the assistance of HM Tug Robust.
At 1630B/18, HMS Unique was docked in No.1 graving dock at the Malta Dockyard for inspection of the damage which was found to be moderate. (1)
