On 28 February 1943 the liberty ship SS ''Wade Hampton'' was torpedoed by ''U-405'' while sailing in a convoy from New York to Murmansk, Russia. Survivors were picked up by ''Vervain'', SS ''Bayano'' and HMS ''Beverly'' near Greenland.〔http://newsite.navymemorial.org/nl_tribute_expanded.php?search=yes&fileaddr=MSB94302281〕 On 20 February 1945 at 11.45 hours ''Vervain'' was escorting a homeward-bound convoy when she was sunk by a torpedo from the U-boat ''U-1276'', under ''Oberleutnant zur See'' Karl-Heinz Wendt about 25 miles south-east of Dungarvan, Ireland, south of Waterford. ''Vervain'' sank after 20 minutes. Three officers and 30 ratings were rescued.〔http://filestore.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pdfs/small/cab-66-62-wp-45-106-11.pdf〕 ==References== *(navymemorial.org ) *(National Archives ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Vervain (K190)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
