1945 sinking of a German U-boat by a British submarine

The German U-boat U-864 was attacked and sunk on 9 February 1945 by HMS Venturer, a V-class submarine of the Royal Navy. Venturer was patrolling the waters around Fedje Island, off the Norwegian coast in the North Sea. The sinking remains the only incident in the history of naval warfare where one submarine sank another while both were submerged.
