5 Feb 1941 (position 34.53, 11.51)
HMS Upright (Lt. E.D. Norman, DSC, RN) makes a torpedo attack on an Italian convoy off Kerkenah, Tunisia. Four torpedoes were fired at a 4000 tons merchant vessel but all missed the target.

According to Italian sources this was probably the German merchant Wachtfels (8467 GRT, built 1928) escorted by the Italian Armed Merchant Cruiser Caralis on passage from Tripoli to Naples.

(All times are zone -1)
0254 hours - Near position 34°53'N, 11°51'E sighted two darkened ships bearing 140°. Range 7000 yards, enemy course 320°, estimated speed of the enemy 13 knots. Started attack.

0312 hours - Fired four torpedoes from 1200 yards. The target was a merchant vessel of about 4000 tons with one escort. The second torpedo had a gyro failure and ran about 30° to Port. If this had not been the case this torpedo would most likely have hit the target. The first torpedo missed ahead and the other two astern. The attack appeared to be not noticed by the enemy. The range was opened up and the torpedo tubes were reloaded in the hope of another attack. However after 20 minutes the chase had to be abandoned. (13)
