(0) Approximate position. About 20 miles west of Cape Palos (Spain). | An armed merchant vessel was first detected by the hydrophones at a range of 7,000 metres. The submarine closed to 1,200 metres before firing a torpedo (533mm, W 260 type) but missed, probably because of the heavy seas. The target has not been identified. |
