HNoMS Uredd (P-41)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the present Royal Norwegian Navy submarine Uredd, please see HNoMS Uredd (S305).
The P-41 Uredd was an U-class submarine during the Second World War, the only Norwegian submarine ever lost.
The submarine was given to the Royal Norwegian Navy by the Royal Navy. Norwegian command was assumed on 7. December 1941. Completing a total of 7 successful missions for the Royal Norwegian Navy before being destroyed by a minefield in February 1943, she had served mostly as a patrol craft off the coast of Nazi-occupied Norway, and had sunk several German ships.
In February of 1943 she was assigned, under the presumed command of Rolf Q. Røren, to drop off 5 Kompani Linge Special Agents at Bodø as part of Operation Seagull - and then proceed to Senja to pick up two French submariners that had been left behind by HMS Junon.
In 1985, HNoMS Tana discovered the wreckage of the Uredd southwest of Fugløyvær and confirmed that she had hit a German minefield - killing 34 crew and 6 Special Agents. The following year, King Olav V unveiled a memorial to those lost aboard the Uredd, located in Grensen.
