Möglichkeit, nach englischem wiki :
The 3rd flotilla, now consisting of T10, T4, T14 and the torpedo boat T19 made an unsuccessful attempt to escort the commerce raider Komet through the Channel on 13–14 October. They were intercepted by a British force of five escort destroyers and eight MTBs that sank the raider and severely damaged T10. She was hit six times that reduced her speed to eight knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph), set her on fire, and blew up one of her depth charges. Eleven men were killed and an equal number were wounded.
