This day in 1941 was a Monday, but not to be like any other. Later in the day Unbeaten was in position off Tagiura, Libya. Through her periscope, Teddy Woodward, who was Unbeaten’s CO, sighted an enemy vessel. It was thought the ship in question was a lone Italian Baleno Class destroyer. It appeared she was escorting a single 5,000 to 6,000 ton merchant vessel. The hunt was on, Unbeaten started to close, Woodward ordered the crew to ready three tin fish (torpedoes). Little did they know that after they fired their torpedoes the next eight hours would turn into a living hell. Unbeaten and her crew suffered a relentless depth charge attack which lasted for several hours. It was a real cat and mouse affair. The book has nearly a whole chapter dedicated to this attack.
