HMS UNIQUE
On 10th October 1942 Submarine HMS UNIQUE was on passage from UK to Gibraltar and had been ordered to conduct a patrol off North Spain on the way to intercept any possible ‘blockade runners’.
Submarine HMS URSULA, which had similar orders heard sounds of explosions whilst crossing the Bay of Biscay and assumed that Submarine HMS UNIQUE was being attacked.
No claim for an attack was made but it was assumed that the submarine was lost with all hands after the attack.
