On 26 March 1942 the HMS Jaguar under the command of LtCdr. Lionel Rupert Knyvet Tyrwhitt (DSO, DSC, RN) was escorting the HM RFA Slavol with Greek Destroyer Queen Olga when the ships came under attack by German submarine U652. The Slavol caught fire after having been hit by a torpedo and, as the HMS Jaguar was rescuing survivors from the RFA, was herself hit by two torpedoes from the U652, sinking immediately in postion 31.53N/26.18E with the loss of 193 lives. 53 survivors were rescued by the HM Whaler KLO (DANF).

Here is some conflicting information concerning the sinking of the Jaguar
At 0227 hours on 26 Mar, 1942, HMS Jaguar (F 34) (LtCdr L.R.K. Tyrwhitt, DSO, DSC, RN) was attacked by U-652 with a spread of four torpedoes northest of Sollum. Two of the torpedoes struck in the bow, the ship caught fire and sank in a short time. Three officers and 190 ratings were lost. Eight officers and 45 ratings were picked up by HMS Klo and taken to Tobruk. The destroyer had been part of the escort for the tanker HM RFA Slavol, which was sunk some hours later by U-205 (Reschke)......and then.....At 0510 on 26 Mar, 1942, the escorted Slavol (Master George Sydney Perry) was hit by one stern torpedo from U-205 and sank within five minutes off Sidi Barrani, Egypt. The ship had been missed by a spread of four bow torpedoes three minutes earlier. 36 crew members were lost. The master and 19 crew members were picked up by RHS Vasillisa Olga (D 15) and landed at Alexandria. The fleet oiler was enroute to Tobruk to bring fuel for the 5th Destroyer Flotilla. If the Slavol was already on fire from being torpedoed and the Jaguar is rescuing her crew, then this would mean that the Slavol was hit before the Jaguar. But then both ships supposedly sank within minutes of being hit by torpedoes so there would not have been time to rescue anyone from another ship. The recorded times of the torpedo attacks do not match what is supposed to have happened. Need some more research on this one.....
