The submarine HMS Undaunted was built in Barrow in 1940 and deployed to Gibraltar and later Malta in 1941. She departed Malta on May 1, 1941 for a patrol off Libya, but she was never seen again. The theory that she was sunk by an Italian patrol boat on May 13 seems rather unlikely as Undaunted was due back in Malta on the 11th. The simple fact that the crew of the torpedo reported depth charging an unknown target and then claimed to smell diesel lends no credence to the fact that no conclusive evidence was recovered and many crews during the heat of battle believed they had sunk a submarine. What really happened to Undaunted and her thirty-two man crew is still not known, and may never be. |
