30 Nov 1944 // Minesweeper HMSAS Bever hit a mine while sweeping with HMSAS Seksern in the Aegean off Nauplia, and sank in seconds: 17 of her crew of 25 lost their lives. The end of a small ship with a distinguished fighting record, particularly at Tobruk. #SouthAfricanNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory
The torpedo boats left the survivors alone and did not attack the tug. Once the Germans were sure the Parktown was destroyed they departed, and the tug was able to pick up the survivors. Parktown's wreck was scuttled later in the day by an MTB. [2/2] #SouthAfricanNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory
