The story
German submarine U-77 fired three torpedoes at a British warship east of Cyprus at 1216 hours, missing with all three, but one of them would strike and sink Egyptian sail boat Fany; all 10 aboard survived. 110 miles south of Cyprus at about the same time, U-375 stopped Egyptian sail boats Amina and Ikbal, forced the crews to abandon ship, and sank them with the deck gun.
