>А 29 апреля U-286 потопила эсминец HMS Goodall, который был передан британцам по ленд-лизу в 1943 году.
At 21.00 hours on 29 Apr, 1945, U-968 (Westphalen) fired Gnats at the escort vessels from the convoy RA-66 in grid AC 8856 and reported two destroyers sunk. However, the detonations were observed by the HMS Alnwick Castle (K 405) and a Gnat missed the HMS Goodall (K 479).
About 22.00 hours the same day, U-286 hit the HMS Goodall (K 479) (LtCdr J.V. Fulton, RNVR) with a Gnat in the entrance to the Kola Inlet near Murmansk. The magazine exploded, blowing away the forepart of the vessel. The abandoned ship had to be scuttled by gunfire by HMS Anguilla (K 500) the next day.
This was the last confirmed U-boat success in the Northern theater.
