Of the other British ships that participated in the action in North Africa, the destroyer Hyperion will sink 10 days later off Pantelleria due to impact on a mine; the destroyer Hereward, in the following May, is surprised by a squadron of Italian MAS while, seriously damaged by an air attack, he tries to return to the base, and is scuttled by his crew.
In the course of the action, the MAS 536 will board the ship, capturing several important documents, as well as, as a war trophy, the crest and a pair of binoculars.
British castaways are saved by Italian torpedo boats.
