Hardhead was subjected to a severe counterattack from which it emerged undamaged, while Hake was worked over thoroughly later that morning.
She could have been sunk as the result of a premature or circular run of her own torpedo and the three depth charges heard by Hake may have been only a token attack by the escort.
Although there was a quarter moon, the night was somewhat misty and she might have been rammed, thus making it unnecessary for the escort to drop many depth charges.
