SC 260 served at Plymouth, England, in Unit 10 (SC 99, SC 260, SC 322). This chaser was involved in one of the more curious subchaser incidents in the war, a submarine chase and attack the ended with what the crews believed was the bottoming of a submarine. Listeners picked up sounds that they believed were gunshots, and some concluded that the sub crew committed suicide.

T.G. Sweet. a crewman on SC 260 (I believe he is in the center of the top row) filed a document on this, in which he claimed that British forces raised the submarine hull.
