 | | Fate: Sunk 15 July 1943, in the Atlantic, in position 28°20'N, 13°17'W by a VP-92 PBY-5A Catalina piloted by Lieutenant R. Finnie, and British destroyers HMS Rochester, Mignonette and Balsam. |
 | | Homing in on the contact, a fully surfaced u-boat was sighted exchanging fire with two British corvettes, HMS Mignonette and HMS Balsam, and the sloop HMS Rochester, of the convoy's escort group, whose depth carges had forced U-135 to the surface. |
 | | At this point HMS Balsam came up fast and rammed the boat, causing it to roll over and sink in position 2820N 1317W (about 115 NM east of Las Plamas, Canary Islands)..." Contributed by Ragnar J. Ragnarsson ragsie@centrum.is [08JAN2000] |
