On 31.12.1940 it was hunted down by the Greek submarine Katsonis Y-1, and sunk just south of Bar, some 300 m of the point Sogavica. Both submarine torpedoes missed. According to eyewitnesses, submarine surfaced and around 7:30 opened cannon fire from around 500m distance. After several strong explosions ship caught fire and finally went down around 9:20.
