Usk: a probable mine loss near Cape Bon

Usk's short Mediterranean career ended in a probable mine loss near Cape Bon in April 1941, with the exact date uncertain.

Notes

Usk commissioned in October 1940 and spent most of her career in the Mediterranean. She disappeared in April 1941 near Cape Bon. Mines are considered the cause, but the account does not establish exactly when she was lost. Her disappearance adds to the examples of submarines whose destruction could leave little immediate evidence.
