(All times are zone -2)
1705 hours - In position 39°20'N, 17°33'E, when at 80 feet, HE was heard to the North-North-East. Closed. Went to periscope depth. Saw an Italian cruiser force escorted by destroyers.

1719 hours - Fired four torpedoes at the second cruiser. Three explosions were heard 3 to 4 minutes after firing.

1745 hours - Returned to periscope depth but it was too dark to see anything.

The light cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli (third cruiser in the formation) observed Muzio Attendolo suddenly turning to port and imitated her immediately. Torpedo tracks were seen passing to starboard between the two cruisers. (7)

Kershaw, RN) sighted an Italian submarine of the Santorre [Santarosa] class apparently returning to Taranto. P 31 proceeded to intercept but the enemy submarine dived 5 minutes later and the attack was broken off.

There is no evidence of Italian submarines in this area at that time. Ammiraglio Cagni was returning to Taranto on this morning but she was about 45 miles to the north-east of P 31 and remained on the surface until she reached Taranto. (7)

18 Dec 1941
At 0320 hours (zone -2) HMS P 31 (Lt. J.B.de B. Kershaw, RN) arrived in a new position (39.05'N, 17.32'E). She formed a new patrol line together with HMS Unbeaten (Lt.Cdr. E.A. Woodward, RN) and ORP Sokol (Lt.Cdr. B. Karnicki, ORP). (7)

HMS P 31 (Lt. J.B.de B. Kershaw, RN) is detected and depth charged by an Italian destroyer or torpedo boat in position 39°05'N, 17°28'E. No damage was done to P 31.

Following this P 31 attacked an Italian cruiser with four torpedoes in position 39°05'N, 17°31'E. No hits were obtained. P 31 was again depth charged but again she evaded these and was not damaged.

The enemy force consisted of the light cruisers Raimondo Montececcoli, Muzio Attendolo and Emanuele Filiberto Duca D’Aosta screened by the destroyers Aviere, Ascari and Camicia Nera returning to Taranto after escorting a convoy to Libya.

(All times are zone -2)
1316 hours - In position 39°05'N, 17°28'E sighted a small destroyer closing and using some sort of A/S transmissions. P 31 remained at periscope depth and took avoiding action. The destroyers tactics were to stop and presumably listen and then to go ahead using her asdics.

1330 hours - The destroyer attacked and forced P 31 deep. 12 Depth charges were dropped at intervals up to 1400 hours.

1406 hours - Returned to periscope depth, proceeding at slow speed and keeping stern on to the destroyer. Up to 1500 hours 8 depth charges were dropped but she did not appear to be in contact.

1540 hours - The destroyer increased speed and turned towards. P 31 was forced deep. 16 Depth charges were dropped.

1610 hours - P 31 appeared to be clear and came to periscope depth. The destroyer was seen sweeping the area.

1613 hours - The destroyer dropped one last depth charge and then proceeded Southward.

1615 hours - Sighted an aircraft.

1632 hours - Sighted a destroyer bearing 135° with a haze of smoke behind her. Range was about 9000 yards. Closed.

1640 hours - Sighted two large ships with the smoke of a third bearing 151°, range 9000 yards. Closed at high speed for 6 minutes. 4 Destroyers were in sight.

1648 hours - Observed that the enemy had altered course. P 31 was now 25° on the enemy's port bow. The destroyers appeared to be zigging independently and were rushing about at high speed. The large ships were thought to be battleships (after consultation upon returning to Malta they were thought to be cruisers).

1652 hours - A destroyer was now right ahead at a range of 900 yards. Went to 50 feet. The destroyer then passed overhead.

1654 hours - Returned to periscope depth. The enemy had altered course again. Altered course to complete the attack.

1658 hours - In position 39°05'N, 17°31'E fired four torpedoes from 1000 yards against one of the big ships. Took avoiding action on firing and went deep.

1703 hours - Destroyers were reported to be coming in.

1704 hours - Depth charging started. 27 Depth charged in all were dropped. The second pattern was fairly close.

1738 hours - Returned to periscope depth. Saw two destroyers bearing 010°. They were making a lot of smoke.

[The light cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli reported being missed by five torpedoes (only four were actually fired). The light cruiser Muzio Attendolo immediately dropped depth charges, imitated by the destroyers but these were only for intimidation purposes.] (7)

(10)

6 Feb 1942 (position 33.07, 12.03)
HMS P 31 (Lt. J.B.de B. Kershaw, RN) attacked but missed a vessel which was most probably the Italian merchant Bolsena (2384 GRT, built 1918) off Zuwara, Libya.

(All times are zone -2)
1431 hours - In position 33°07'N, 12°03'E sighted a laden merchant vessel of about 1500 tons. Range was about 5 nautical miles. No surface escort was present but there was an air escort. Enemy (mean) course was 090° but she was zig-zagging. Closed at high speed.

1459 hours - Fired 3 torpedoes from 5000 yards. No explosions were heard.

1508 hours - Observed that the ship had altered course and was now heading towards the coast. The aircraft prevented further observations or gun action. As the sea was oily calm the torpedo tracks were most likely sighted. (10)

12 Feb 1942 (position 33.18, 12.01)
At 0615 hours (zone -2), on board HMS P 31 (Lt. J.B.de B. Kershaw, RN), the Officer Of the Watch, Lt. M.H. Gardner, RN and S/Lt. R.C. Bucknall, RN were washed overboard when P 31 accidentally dived in position 33°18'N, 12°01'E. Ballast was immediately blow but P 31 meanwhile had been at a depth of 70 feet. P 31 then returned to the position of the accident and was able to pick up S/Lt. Bucknall. Lt. Gardner however was not found despite a thorough search of the area. (10)

(10)

5 Mar 1942 (position 35.27, 12.12)
HMS P 31 (Lt. J.B.de B. Kershaw, RN) torpedoed and sank the Italian merchant Marin Sanudo (5958 GRT, built 1926) about 10 nautical miles West-South-West of the island of Lampedusa in position 35°27'N, 12°12'E. P 31 was hunted by her two escorts the Italian torpedo boats Cigno and Procione following this attack and they dropped respectively 22 and 12 depth charges.

(All times are zone -2)
1245 hours - In position 35°27'N, 12°12'E sighted an aircraft carrying out an A/S sweep. Went deep.

1305 hours - Heard H.E., bearing 340° and came to periscope depth.

1306 hours - Sighted a motor vessel escorted by two Folgore-class destroyers, one on either bow. Range was 7200 yards. The nearest destroyer had FL on her bow. [Here Lt. Kershaw must have made a mistake, destroyer Fulmine (FL) had been sunk on 9 November 1941.]

1310 hours - Commenced a retiring turn. The target was on a steady course with the destroyers zigging independently. The target was a vessel of about 7000 tons and fully laden.

1320 hours - Decided to attack with a salvo of four torpedoes. It was a large vessel, fully laden with a heavy escort. It must be a very valuable ship for the enemy.

1321 hours - Went to 40 feet as the sea was flat calm and the periscope would otherwise be sighted. Decided to attack using Asdic.

1323 hours - Fired four torpedoes from 780 yards. All hit. H.E. of the target ceased. P 31 increased to full speed and retired to the North.

1327 hours - Went to slow speed.

1329 hours - 5 Depth charges were dropped, fairly close.

1331 hours - 4 Depth charges exploded, very close.

1333 hours - Settled on the bottom at 240 feet. By 1345 hours a total of 30 depth charges had been dropped and minor damage was received. The destroyers were overhead, stopping and starting their engines. Decided to remain on the bottom. It was some comfort that the chart 'from the latest Italian Government Surveys' gave the greatest depth as 180 feet.

1600 hours - The final depth charges were dropped and the destroyers were heard proceeding to the North.

1700 hours - Returned to periscope depth. Nothing in sight. Went deep again to reload. (10)

(All times are zone -2)
0925 hours - Sighted a merchant vessel and 4 schooners leaving the harbour of Civitavecchia.

0955 hours - When minesweeping trawlers that had been sighted earlier were clear P 31 was able to start closing the merchant vessel. Three of the schooners were ahead of her and one was close astern.

1014 hours - In position 42°02'N, 11°31'E fired three torpedoes from 3000 yards. The merchant vessel (a 2000 tons tanker) turned away to comb the tracks and then returned to the harbour at high speed.

The target has not yet been identified. (10)

2 Apr 1942 (position 40.49, 13.07)
