UJ
1210 was built at Akers Mekaniske Verksted in Oslo and was
launched in 1943. She was originally laid down as a
whaler, but the German forces in Norway had great need for
escort vessels and guard boats, and she was quickly
requisitioned by Kriegsmarine. She was assigned duties as
uboat hunter in
12.Ubbotjagd flotille and was sunk southeast of Lille
Ekkerøy 16.July 1944 after furious air attacks from Soviet
planes against the German convoy R119Ki. The Soviets
attacked with seven attack groups, and managed to sink UJ
1210 and damage three other ships. The Soviet losses
counted seven airplanes. The wreck rest today on a depth
of approx 10 to 12 meter in the bay of Lille Ekkerøy
outside Vadsø city.
