8. The submarine that sank it (U-331) was sunk on November 17, 1942 after being bombed multiple times by the RAF, deciding to surrender to the HMS Wilton who arrived after planes from the naval air squadron of the aircraft carrier HMS Formidable ended up sinking it. without knowing about the surrender
