Note:
H.M.S.
Prize was a "Q" Ship. The Prize embarked on its final
patrol in early August 1917. Sailing into the Atlantic under a Swedish
flag, the ship was accompanied by a British submarine, the HMS D-6.
It was intended that the D-6 would submerge and observe the Prize
throughout the day. When an enemy ship was sighted, the crew of
the Prize would place discrete signals in the rigging to indicate
the ship's position to the watching D-6. The submarine would then
attempt to move into a position where it could torpedo the approaching
enemy. On 13 August 1917, a lookout spotted the UB-48. Sanders opted
to use the guns of the Prize to shell the U-boat; the UB-48 was
undamaged and it submerged to evade the attack. The Prize and D-6
remained on station. Later that evening, the D-6 heard an explosion.
At dawn it surfaced but no trace was found of the Prize or her crew.
It was presumed that the UB-48 had torpedoed the sailing ship, sinking
her and the crew. [Source:
