HNoMS Uredd (P-41)

HNoMS Uredd (P-41)

HMS "P41" was a Royal Navy U-class submarine built by Vickers-Armstrong. She was transferred to the Royal Norwegian Navy before completion and renamed HNoMS "Uredd". She has so far been the only Norwegian submarine ever lost.

Career

She was transferred to Norwegian command on 7 December 1941. She served mostly as a patrol craft off the coast of Nazi-occupied Norway, eventually completing a total of seven successful missions for the Royal Norwegian Navy, sinking several German ships. She was destroyed by a minefield in February 1943.

.

In 1985, HNoMS "Tana" discovered the wreckage of the "Uredd" southwest of Fugløyvær and confirmed that she had hit a German minefield laid by the German minelayer "Cobra" - killing 34 crew and six Special Agents. The following year, King Olav V unveiled a memorial to those lost aboard the "Uredd", located in Grensen.

The wreck is officially a war grave.
