Following the sinking, the ageing 1,325-ton destroyer HMS Viceroy relentlessly pursued U1274, the former World War One warship attacking the U-boat with depth charges 7.5 nm ESE of the Longstone. Speed was increased to 18 knots and course altered to port. Three minutes later a good echo was picked up at 2,200 yards, bearing 350 degs. Speed was reduced. The contact was classified as submarine with moderate high doppler and, at 1942 hrs, an attack was carried out using 100- foot settings. Range was opened and a second attack carried out ten minutes later using the same settings. This produced traces of oil. The third attack was broken off during the later stages of the rim, the operator picking up hydrophone effect from Woolston and losing contact and by this time the contact appeared to have no movement and was thought to have bottomed. The third attack was carried out at 2017, speed 15 knots, using 250-foot settings.
