in New York and returned to service in February 1943. Fjordaas U-218 fired five torpedoes between 01:35 and 01:40 on 11 September, and struck the 7,361-ton Norwegian tanker Fjordaas on the port side amidships opening a hole. The crew abandoned ship in two lifeboats, but remained close by as the master, first mate and chief engineer inspected the damage. Her engines and steering gear were intact, so the crew boarded and managed to take her back to Glasgow, arriving on 15 September. Delães At 11:50 on 11 September U-96 attempted to stop the 415-ton neutral Portuguese three-masted fishing schooner Delães by firing three shots from her deck gun across her bow. U-96 then sank the vessel with shells when it did not stop. The Germans claimed to see no neutrality markings, that it had steered a suspicious course close to convoy ON-127, and believed they heard ASDIC signals from the ship. All 54 of the crew survived. Hindanger At 19:25 hours on 11 September the 4,884-ton Norwegian merchant ship Hindanger was torpedoed by U-584. One man was killed, and the rest of the crew of 41 abandoned ship. The survivors were picked up by HMCS Amherst, which reported that she sank the wreck with gunfire and a depth charge at 23:12. However, it is possible that the scuttling was unsuccessful, and the ship was actually sunk at 05:34 hours on 12 September by two torpedoes by U-608. Daghild At 06:17 on 12 September U-404 fired three torpedoes, and struck the 9,272-ton Norwegian tanker Daghild with one, making a hole in her side. However, she reached St. John's for repairs, and then proceeded to New York for further work. Empire Moonbeam & Hektoria At 01:05 on 12 September, U-211 fired torpedoes, and damaged two British ships; the 6,849-ton merchant ship Empire Moonbeam was hit once, and the 13,797-ton whale factory ship Hektoria twice. Both vessels were sunk by U-608 later that day. Hektoria was sunk at 03:51 with the loss of one crewman, while the master, 76 crewmen and eight gunners were picked up by . Empire Moonbeam was sunk at 04:59 with the loss of three of her crew, while the master, 44 crewmen, six gunners and one passenger were also picked up by Arvida. Stone Street At 14:36 on 13 September U-594 fired a spread of three torpedoes at the 6,131-ton merchant ship Stone Street, owned by the Waterman
