She had left Bordeaux on 27 July 1943, but was hardly out of the [[Bay of Biscay]], north-west of [[Cape Ortegal]], Spain, when she was sunk on 30 July by an Australian [[Short Sunderland|Sunderland]] [[flying boat]] from [[No. 461 Squadron RAAF]] piloted by [[Flight Lieutenant]] Dudley Marrows. Coincidentally this aircraft had the registration "U", also making it known as 'U-461'. As a result of the attack, all 12 Australian crew on the flying boat agreed to drop an inflatable dinghy, fifteen of her crew survived; 53 were killed.<ref name="uboatnet"/>
