Not a very nice way to become missing.

WOW, great find! After viewing the vid/pics, can see that it wasn't a Sub-Chaser proper, but wonder if this wasn't another one of those plywood-flanked stopgaps that the US Navy tossed out there in desperation to try and scare the Germans... interesting indeed!
