Re: RE: Radanes was a 15,000 ton freighter?

I don't know the tonnage of this ship, but I do know its fate.

I've just watched a German weekly newsreel film from 1944 that shows the Radanes being torpedoed by a German U-boat. The Radanes took a single torpedo hit to the stern. The crew got off board into lifeboats. The ship went down fast, aft first. The bow pointed straight skywards as she went down. Radanes shows clearly on the bow.
