  Death	23 Oct 1942	HMS Phoebe
  	MAW, George, Ordinary Seaman, C/JX 319969, Phoebe, 23 October 1942, torpedoed, killed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Phoebe_(F42) Noteable events involving Phoebe include: 23 Oct 1942 HMS Phoebe (Capt. C.P. Frend, RN) was torpedoed by U-161 off the Congo Estuary, while on passage to French Equatorial Africa. Her route was from Simonstown to Freetown, but the ship had to refuel at Pointe Noire. Two U-boats (U-161 and U-126) were patrolling that area by the time. After the hit, a corvette coming up from the harbour prevented the U-boat to finish off the cruiser. About 60 crew members were killed (and three more from malaria in the following days). After provisional repairs, Phoebe made to New York for definite repairs. It was an outstanding deed to go 10.000 miles with a hole 60' by 30' in size. The repairs were not completed until June 1943.
