Hi John

The convoy attacked was FTT-4, a short convoy series from Freetown to Trinidad (only 7 convoys between October 1942 and April 1943). At the time of the attack, the convoy consisted of 8 ships, escorted by the Flower class corvettes HMS AMARANTHUS and HMS TAMARISK and the Falmouth class sloop HMS MILFORD. There is no explanation for the observations made by Mohr, he heard two detonations on the first tanker and observed a flash on a second tanker and saw both ships sinking. However, no ships from this convoy were lost or damaged.

Best regards
