Shortly afterwards one of the escorts of the convoy came towards at speed. Looks like we were sighted. 2343 hours - Dived. One destroyer passed down each side but then left to re-join the convoy. 2 December 1942 0000 hours - Surfaced. 0007 hours - Fired three torpedoes at the leading transport from 5000 yards.

A heavy explosion was heard after 1 minute and 35 seconds. On the first explosion an escort was seen to turn towards so dived. Two destroyer started hunting P 219. These were shortly afterwards relieved by two smaller escorts. One remained stopped while the other attacked. Six depth charges were dropped close but they caused no damage. When P 219 returned to periscope depth a ship was seen to be heavily on fire and was breaking up in position 37°42'N, 11°03'E. Lt.

Shortly after the convoy was decimated by Force Q.]

Increased speed to close. 1727 hours - Surfaced in position 35°23'N, 11°32'E to close the small merchant vessel. Enemy course was estimated as 330°, speed 7 knots. 1826 hours - Closed the enemy's starboard quarter and turned to a parallel course while overtaking. Position was now 35°27'N, 11°22'E. 1830 hours - Opened fire from 300 yards with the 12 pdr. gun. The target was soon stopped and on fire aft. When a boat was seen abandoning ship fire was checked. 11 Rounds had now been fired. 1838 hours - Started picking up survivors. They turned out to be Italians and German Luftwaffe men. The Luftwaffe men were retained on board as well as one other German. 10 Germans in all were taken prisoner. 1919 hours - Fired 10 rounds into the waterline of the ship to finish her off.

Submarine HMS Tantivy: HMS Tantivy (Lt. P.H. May, RN) has to abandon her Northbound passage of Lombok Strait. (All times are zone -8) 2 December 1944 2000 hours - Started passage of Lombok Strait 2242 hours - In position 08°33'S, 115°47'4"E sighted one motor launch ahead, range was 3000 yards. Turned to the westwards to go round him. Just before reaching the shelter of a rain squall at 2250 hours a violent lightning flash disclosed two more motor launches right ahead, in the rain squall in position 08°31'7"S, 115°46'5"E well under 1000 yards away. Turned 180° and increased to full speed to run around the original motor launch inshore to eastwards. Reduced to 14 knots after 10 minutes. After 3/4 of an hour, when near the North entrance to the Straits, close to the eastern shore, with the original motor launch abaft the beam drawing aft, range 2000-3000 yards, the moon shone out at full brilliance. After a few minutes the motor launch increased speed and turned towards 2348 hours - Dived to 230 feet in position 08°26'1"S, 115°54'7"E and rigged for depth charging. 3 December 1944 0057 hours - A pattern of four depth charges was dropped right on top of us, they were to close for comfort. 10 more depth charges were dropped in the next minutes. These caused minor damage (and violent squealing from the rats behind the woodwork !!!). During the first pattern of depth charges something scraping down the side was reported from aft and the port screw became extremely noisy. Oil fuel was now leaking into the boat through the spindle of number 5 Port Kingston Valve, and the vent to number 3 Port External. It seemed very likely that we were leaking oil fuel from the external tanks, which would also account for the accuracy of the depth charging so at 0130 hours turned South to run back trough the Straits 0330 hours - Surfaced in position 08°35'2"S, 115°50'9"E to get clear of the Straits by daylight 0402 hours - In position 08°38'8"S, 115°48'3"E sighted a motor launch 3000 yards away. Turned to Port to run around him 0414 hours - Turned back to original course but the wheel jammed. Both engines were stopped but we went in the direction of the motor launch 0422 hours - The range was about 2500 yards so dived in position 08°40'7"S, 115°50'2"E and rigged for depth charging. No attack followed however. As daybreak was at 0500 hours decided to remain dived until well clear of the Straits 0830 hours - Surfaced in position 09°04'8"S, 115°39'5"E to charge and make good defects. No fuel leaks were found 1400 hours - Dived in position 09°15'S, 114°56'5"E and went to 120 feet to repair steering gear 1852 hours - Surfaced in position 09°13'3"S, 114°54'E and set course for Lombok Strait 2350 hours - Commenced passage of the Strait.
