HMS Fairy encountered UC-75 while escorting convoys off Britain's east coast. A steamer had already rammed the U-boat, but it resurfaced and resumed fighting. Fairy then made repeated ramming attacks on UC-75. The collisions damaged the destroyer so badly that she sank soon afterward. The episode places an early C-class vessel in demanding convoy service after newer destroyers had entered the fleet.
