(When I first listed this ship I thought it was a regular merchant vessel - will leave it on the list in case someone is looking for this info). Possibly torpedoed on March 30-1942. On checking with Rohwer I find that he says in a footnote with regard to the Honduran tanker Mana (Convoy PQ 13) that "U-456 (Teichert) observed one hit after 55 sec, after which the ship was seen to be listing". He goes on to say that "the xB-Dienst reported this ship as the Honduran tanker Mana but it may have been the Sulla, on transfer to the Soviet Northern Fleet as an auxiliary minesweeper". Position given for Sulla's sinking on March 30 is Bären I (Bear Island) - no convoy mentioned, but "Convoys to Russia" by Bob Ruegg and Arnold Hague lists her among the escorts for Convoy PQ 13, though it mentions nothing about her being torpedoed, nor does it say anything at all about Mana being hit. A thread on my Ship Forum has some more details about Sulla. One of the responses suggests she may have been sunk by surface craft on March 25-1942.

This site also says the incident took place on March 25, but no further information. | | | | Sv | | | | D/S Svein Jarl (II) NS* | Det Nordenfjeldske Dampskibsselskab, Trondheim | 1908 gt | | Built in Trondheim, delivered on Dec. 12-1919.
