Germany:
Late on the night of 11 September 1943 the German submarine U-617 was attacked in the western Mediterranean by a Wellington aircraft of 179 Squadron, RAF. The U-boat was seriously damaged, and after fifteen minutes moved off slowly on the surface for the North African coast. In the early hours of 12 September another Wellington from 179 Squadron also attacked and damaged the submarine. U-617 beached herself on the shore of Spanish Morocco at 2:00am. The crew abandoned ship under gun fire from the requisitioned Dutch trawler Haarlem. The corvette HMS Hyacinth, with HMAS Wollongong (I) under her orders, later arrived at the scene and the two ships shelled the U-boat. The destruction of U-617 was officially credited to the two aircraft of 179 Squadron, Haarlem, Hyacinth and Wollongong (I).
