Deep enough to have stayed pristine. Struck a drifting mine off Porquerolles on 10 October 1945, five months after the war in Europe ended, and sank in three minutes with the loss of most of her crew. A postscript casualty of a war already over. Anchorage: Anchor in the Porquerolles roadstead, a superb Hyères islands overnight. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally. Más
