The recent discovery of the wreck of the submarine HMS Urge off Valletta (Malta), mined on the German MT 13 minefield laid by the 3rd Schnellbootflottille, closes this discussion.
The Ras Hilal wreck is undoubtedly that of U 205 known to have been lost there in 1943. The 2003 Hydrographic Survey found one wreck there, not two. This proves that identification of wrecks cannot be made by sonar images alone.
Thank you,
