Thank you for your help guys!

On 21 October 1942, in the bay of Biscay, about 50 nautical miles (90 km) north-north-east of Cape Ortegal (44°31***8242;N 7°25***8242;W***65279; / ***65279;44.517°N 7.417°W***65279; / 44.517; -7.417), Graph encountered the U-333. Four torpedoes were fired but all missed.[47] In December 1942, HMS Graph sighted the German cruiser Admiral Hipper on her return to Altenfjord following the Battle of the Barents Sea, but Hipper was travelling too fast to be attacked. Three hours later, Graph sighted one German destroyer towing a second, and attacked. However, her torpedoes missed.

She was commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS Graph on 19 September 1941. HMS Graph was decommissioned from active service in February 1944. Graph was lost on 20 March 1944 when she ran aground on the west coast of the Island of Islay, Scotland.
