Footnote : U-660 fired one single shot, a 2-torpedo spread, and another single shot. There was one detonation after 47 sec, two after 1:30 min, and one after 50 sec. U-438 observed a detonation after 2:30 min. - "Condylis" was hit by a torpedo both on the starboard and port side, so it must have been hit by both U-boats. The other ships were hit only on the starboard side, and so must have been hit by U-660. The damaged ship sunk by U-438 must have been "Oregon".
