| Footnote : | I-165 reported one ship from a 6-ship convoy sunk. - "Laomédon" was used as boom defence carrier, and towed to Colombo in damaged condition. - "Meroendoeng" (ex German "Friderun", 2464 grt), being claimed as target in ASS book, had become a prize of war by Netherlands in May 1940 in Dutch East India. "Maroendong" did not come into service, as her machine was damaged. So she was sunk as block ship during Japanese invasion of 2/3 March 1942 in Tandjong Priok. She was not salved and still existed as a wreck in 1946. |
