This DD hit magnetic mine near Rohokula (Moonsund) while evading air attacks (she was moored on road before attack). Fore part was cut and sank, after part sunk after 5 days of unsuccesful salvage attempts. Exact losses are unknown, many crew member listed as "missed since 08/1941". They landed on Osel island, which was cut from mainland, and many was killed during fighting on Moonsund islands.
