<HTML>Hi Mike,

the 'Umvuma' was sunk by U-181, a German submarine under command of Korvkpt. Wolfgang Lüth, who became the second highest scoring submarine commander in WW2.
You can find some information about Lüth and about U-181 at these links:

I hope this will help you little bit. Have a nice day.
