Hi Steven,
The attack by HMS Thrasher was on the transports Argentina (5083 GRT, 1907) and Italia (5203 GRT, 1905) escorted by the auxiliary Barletta and the torpedo boats Lupo, Climene and Libra. They were travelling from Alimnia to Pireaus. Lupo spotted the torpedo tracks at 0325 (Rome Time) and Libra (Capitano di Corvetta Carlo Brancia di Apricena) was detached to hunt the submarine, dropping 36 depth-charges in six runs and claimed to have sunk the submarine. Of course, this was not the case.
The Thrasher's page on uboat.net will be updated in the future. It is just a question of time.
Best regards,
Platon
