Footnote : "Iku-Turso" was sent to chase a soviet submarine which she attacked in the evening of Oct.26th. The submarine dived when taken under gunfire. Shortly after midnight on Oct.27th it was sunk while surfaced by gunfire and one torpedo. Probably it was the Soviet submarine Shch-308 which was sunk by this attack, but it may have been Shch-306, too, which was also lost at about this time.
