M/T RANJA forsvant sporløst på reise med 34 mann, full last olje fra Houston 9. mars 1942 bestemt for England via konvoihavnen Halifax. Senere viste tyske rapporter at tysk ubåt U-71 (Korvettenkapitän Walter Flachsenberg) torpederte et tankskip 17. mars 1942 i posisjon 39N og 65W. Alt tyder på at det er bare M/T Ranja denne meldingen passer på. M/T Ranja forsvinner med en besetning på 34 personer.

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
