Hi Rich
Have a look to this site:
[www.argonet.co.uk]
Here you can read:
Submarine HMS "Venturer"
V class. Built by Vickers Armstrong, Barrow. Launched 4th May 1943. Sank the German U-boat U-771 off the Lofoten Islands, 11th November 1944. Sank the German U-boat U-864 west of Bergen 9th February 1945. Both submarines were submerged at the time and Venturer's firing solution was obtained from asdic (sonar).
I would add :both subs and U-Boats were submerged at periscope depth.
Geoffrey Jones in his book "Submarines versus U-Boats" accounts both U-771
and U-864 sinkings by HMS Venturer, but describes U-864 one as the only "two subs submerged action/sinking".
Best Regards
