		This was later confirmed when a hunter-killer group, sent from the Tyne and led by HMS Ascension, depth-charge blasted the sea-bed at the exact position of the attack - 55.57N, 01.57W - and brought a considerable quantity of U-boat flotsam to the surface.
		HMS Wivern claimed a share in the kill, on the basis of a depth-charge `attack' she made later that day on an oil-slick 10 miles south of Natal's encounter with U-714.
		It was later learnt that the destroyer, with her outdated equipment, had at no stage been able to make Asdic contact with the submerged U-boat and that her depth-charge `attack' on an oil-slick later in the day had produced no wreckage.

		The Wivern had a complement of 153 and a top speed of 10.5 knots under steam power, although this could be increased a bit by the barque-rigged sails she carried.
