Skipet D/S Svein Jarl var på reise i konvoi fra Oban til Halifax, men mistet konvoien i dårlig vær og ble liggende alene. 24. februar 1941 manøvrerte tysk U-95 (Korvettenkapitän Gerd Schreiber) seg inn på skuddhold og sendte skipet til bunns med en torpedo i posisjon 5910N og2100W. Alle mann, 25 nordmenn, en svenske og en brite, omkom i stormværet. En ny "Svein Jarl" ble minesprengt i Det joniske hav, ved vestkysten av Hellas, 16. januar 1948.

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
