Note

Between 00.21 and 00.24 hours on 27 July 1941, U-79 fired a spread of four torpedoes at the stern of convoy OG-69 about 350 miles west-northwest of Cape Finisterre and had to dive because a destroyer was closing in, so Kaufmann only saw a column of fire and heard several detonations. He reported three ships sunk and two others probably damaged. In fact, only the Kellwyn was hit and sunk, the later explosions must have been depth charges from the escorts. The master, ten crew members and three gunners were lost.
