Was that the one which saw the sub (Snapper) suffer damage to the tune of four smashed plates/broken lightbulbs in the wardroom? IIRC, this confirmed Coastal Command's suspicions that the 100lb AS bomb was useless - although one did bring down an Anson when exploding prematurely - and began the process which led to the acquisition of depth charges which were a tad better at the job.
