The Allies Submarines Sunk by U-boot
Hi FBB
As far as I know only two Royal Navy submarines operating under the White Ensign were actually sunk by U-boats during the war.
a) the S-Class submarine HMS Spearfish. This boat was lost on the 2.8.1940. She was caught on the surface by U.34 during a patrol off the Norwegian coast, and was sunk by torpedo.
AND
b) HMS P615 (ex-Turkish Uluc ali reis). This boat was one of a class of four being built in the UK, by Vickers-Armstrongs for the Turkish Navy. On completion the whole class was requisitioned by the Admiralty. Later on, in 1942 two of the class were delivered to the Turks.
HMS P615 was hit by a torpedo from U-123 off West Africa and sank on the 18 April 1943.

Bob

Re: Allied subs and stuff
Excuse me if I'm wrong, but didn't you already ask this at Uboat.net ?

The Allies Submarines Sunk by U-BOOT
Hi FBB
The only other allied submarines sunk by U-boats during WWII are as follows;
French:
Circe class submarine Doris. This submarine was torpedoed by U9 in the north sea, on the 9th May, 1940.
Redoutable class submarine Sfax. This submarine was torpedoed by mistake by U37 after the surrender on the 19th December 1940.
Diane class submarine La Sybille. This submarine was sunk in error by U173 of Morocco on 11 November 1942
Soviet Russia
The only Soviet submarine to be sunk by a U-boat, was the Serie VIbis type M78. she was torpedoed by U144 off the coast Latvian on the 26 April 1941.
No other Allied nation lost a submarine the German U-Boat action.

Allied Submarines sunk by U-Boats
Hi FBB
I have have come across the following British submarines that were sunk by U-Boats.
HMS Simoom. This S-class submarine was probably sunk by U.565 on the 15 November 1943 in the Aegean.
HMS Thistle. This T-class submarine was sunk by U.4 on the 10 April 1940 off Skudesnes.
