27 Jun 1944 (position 43.38, 7.19)
While on patrol off Nizza, southern France HMS Ultor (Lt. G.E. Hunt, DSC and Bar, RN) torpedoed and sank the German merchant Cap Blanc (aka Felix 1) (3316 GRT, former French, built 1932) at 0504 hours in position 43°38'N, 07°19'E and the German tanker Pallas (aka Tempo 3) (5259 GRT, former French, built 1925) at 0831 hours in position 43°38'N, 07°17'E. Cap Blanc had one killed and three missing but all the crew of Pallas were picked up.

Cap Blanc had been in convoy with cable laying vessel Giasone (600 tons, built 1941) and barge F 935. They were escorted by SG 16, SG 21, M 6020, M 6021 and M 6027.

Pallas had been in convoy with tug L'Obestine and barge F 935 (which had joined after Cap Blanc was sunk together with the escorts). They were now also escorted by SG 16, SG 21, M 6020, M 6021 and M 6027.

(All times are zone -2)
0415 hours - When about to dive for the day, A/S impulses were picked up bearing 260°, Lt. Hunt decided to stay up as long as possible in order to identify the vessel responsible for this. At 0421 hours there was still nothing in sight but Lt Hunt had to dive as the horizon behind Ultor began lightening up. Ultor dived in position 43°37'N, 07°20'E.

0426 hours - Sighted a dark shape through the periscope but it was far too dark to identify anything. Also at this time H.E. was picked up. At 0438 hours Lt. Hunt was able to identify several shapes and one larger vessel. Lt. Hunt closed to attack.

0455 hours - The vessels became clearer every minute. The convoy was seen to consist of a 3000 ton motor vessel with a corvette ahead, a destroyer on the starboard beam (Ultor's attacking side) and one destroyer on each quarter. At 0500 hours Ultor passed ahead and inside of the destroyer on the targets starboard beam.

0504 hours - Fired four torpedoes from a range of 1000 yards against the merchant in position 43°38'N, 07°19'E. Two torpedoes were heard to hit followed one minute later by a terrific explosion and continuous loud rumbling and breaking up noises. It leaves little doubt that the target was sinking.

0514 hours - The first pattern of depth charges was dropped by one of the escorts but it was not close. Over a period of over half an hour 10 more single depth charges were dropped. At 0610 hours, as Lt. Hunt got the impression he had drawn clear to the southward he came to periscope depth and saw that the four escorts were now joined by four 'R' boats. Ultor retreated to the south-west.

0655 hours - A large tanker was sighted to the south-west. A 'crash load' of Ultor's last two torpedoes was commenced. The masts and upper works of several other vessels also became visible. Ultor turned to the northward to intercept the tanker that was heading for Nice. This also provided time to reload the torpedo tubes.

The escort was seen to consist of a corvette, a destroyer, a large UJ boat and two 'R' boats. At 0745 hours it was noticed that the four escorts of the ship attacked and sunk before had joined the escort of this tanker. Also five aircraft were circling overhead.

0800 hours - Ultor began manoeuvring to get inside the screen to fire its last two torpedoes from close range.

0815 hours - Ultor slipped through the escort screen and it was noticed that the tanker of 7000 tons was under tow by two large tugs.

0831 hours - Fired two torpedoes from 1500 yards against the tanker in position 43°38'N, 07°17'E. Both torpedoes were heard to hit as Ultor tried to slip away.

0839 hours - The first pattern of depth charges was dropped but these were not very close. During the next half hour 36 depth charges were dropped single and in patterns but it became clear that Ultor was drawing clear so at 0922 hours Lt. Hunt came to periscope depth. The target was seen laying stopped with her back broken. At 0930 hours the stern section of the target was seen to sink. The escorts were seen to have split up into groups and one group was spotted to be heading towards Ultor.

1000 hours - The remainder of the target sank. The escorts were still hunting and some were even to the seaward of Ultor.

Lt. Hunt went deep and headed for base. By 1030 hours a further 50 depth charges were dropped but none were very close.

1108 hours - The last depth charge was dropped and H.E. and A/S impulses began to draw astern.

1200 hours - Returned to periscope depth. The escorts were spotted hull down to the northward. (8)
