Hi Steve, Jordan only mention's one Sussex, a MV Sussex (11,062) GRT and (13,539) DWT. Owned by Peninsular & Oriental Co and chartered to the Federal Steamship Navigation Company Ltd, built 1937. In Lloyd's ther is no mention of a Sussex being damaged during the war. However, the one you mention is reported in Wynn's book,U 33 laid her mines off Foreland Point on 9.11.39, and over a period, there were two ships sunk, SS Stanholme on 25.12.and MV Inverdargle on 16.01.40; while earlier on 24.11.39, the MV Sussex was damaged. Regards John.
