Great improvement!

I forwarded it to Thomas Weis.

Many thanks, I will forward it to Thomas.

Edit: Thomas was faster and has already corrected the date.

Where in HMA is the wrong date listed? We will correct it.

She ran aground accidentally while leaving the port of Kastron (Lemnos). It was not possible to tow her off and capsized later.

And following discussion.

Yes, war diary Admiral Ägäis speaks of high value and priority cargo and that its loss will be felt heavily.

Hello everybody! I would like to introduce a new book by Axel Niestlé to you: "Convoy battles - U-boat attacks against the convoys S.C. 7, S.C. 118 and J.W. 66/R.A 66" The book is fully written bilingual in german and english. For a more detailed description see here: https://www.verlag-edition-eric...

That is possible.

War diary 65. Vorpostenflottille ends 31.01.1945, and there V 6517 is still mentioned.

I can't find any attack on MEMELLAND in norwegian waters.

War diary 61. Vorpostenflottille only reports the escort of MEMELLAND and war diary Admiral norwegische Polarküste states that MEMELLAND reached Kirkesnes at 13:00.

War diary U 81 speaks of one (strong) explosion and a grey and white cloud, but the target was covered by another ship at the moment of the hit(s).

That was Operation Salient (II).

Duikboot-database also has no entry for this day:

Hello Jordi!

Uboat.net has extended their website a lot with war diary based pages about british ships.
It is always worth to take a look there.
