A battered Unbeaten limped back into Malta, arriving at 07:30 on the 21st of May 1941. She had successfully returned with all hands from her first Mediterranean patrol. The crew and N93 would not embark on their next patrol until the 11th of June. This gave the Ships Company and Shore Staff a period in which to rectify all the numerous defects caused by the depth charging. Being alongside also gave the men some much deserved time ashore in Malta, to relax and unwind after their exhausting first patrol. History shows that it was not unusual for a submarine to fail to return from its first patrol. Unbeaten was lucky indeed, would her luck continue?
