Chebogue (H.M.C.S.)

Wikipedia states "On 4 October 1944 while escorting ONS 33, a convoy made up of slower ships, HMCS Chebogue was hit by a GNAT fired by U-1227. GNAT was the codename (German Naval Acoustic Torpedo) the Allies gave to the torpedo that tracked targets by the sounds they made. At the time the convoy was 800 miles (1,300 km) from the British Isles. Seven men were killed in the resulting explosion with the loss of 10 metres (33 ft) off her stern. With part of her stern missing, HMCS Chebogue was unable to move under her own steam and had to be taken under tow. A succession of HMCS Chambly, HMS Mounsey, HMCS Ribble and the ocean tug, HMS Earner towed her roughly 900 miles (1,400 km) before the towline parted in a gale and HMCS Chebogue was driven ashore in Swansea Bay, Wales. The RNLI lifeboat Edward, Prince of Wales was despatched to aid in the rescue of the ship's crew. The weather worsened going from 40-knot (74 km/h; 46 mph) winds to those of 70 knots (130 km/h; 81 mph). For recovering the crew of HMCS Chebogue Coxswain William Gammon was awarded the Gold Medal for Gallantry, with Second Coxswain Tom Ace and Mechanic Gilbert Davies receiving the Bronze Medal. HMCS Chebogue was re-floated and taken to Port Talbot where she was declared a constructive loss. HMCS Chebogue was placed in reserve at Port Talbot until December when she was towed to Newport, Wales where it was intended to make her seaworthy enough to be towed across the Atlantic Ocean. That plan was cancelled and HMCS Chebogue was instead taken to Milford Haven and paid off 25 September 1945.

She was broken up in 1948."
