- Die HMS Itchen (K 227) war eine Fregatte der River-Klasse der Royal Navy und wurde am 23. September 1943 versenkt. Die Fregatte wurde von U 666 torpediert und sank mit 230 Mann. Nur drei Mann wurden vom Dampfer gerettet. Die hohe Zahl der Toten war Folge der Rettungsaktionen der Fregatte zwei Tage zuvor, als deutschen U-Booten die Versenkung des Zerstörers HMCS St. Croix und der Korvette gelang und Itchen 85 Besatzungsmitglieder retten konnte. Die Versenkung der Itchen überlebten dann nur drei Mann, zwei von der Besatzung der Itchen sowie ein Mann der St. Croix. Die Itchen war eines der ersten Opfer des neuen akustisch gelenkten Zaunkönig-Torpedos zur Bekämpfung von Geleitfahrzeugen. (de)
- HMS Itchen (K227) was a River-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). Itchen was built to the RN's specifications as a Group I River-class frigate. She served in the North Atlantic during World War II. As a River-class frigate, Itchen was one of 151 frigates launched between 1941 and 1944 for use as anti-submarine convoy escorts, named after rivers in the United Kingdom. The ships were designed by naval engineer William Reed, of Smith's Dock Company of South Bank-on-Tees, to have the endurance and anti-submarine capabilities of the Black Swan-class sloops, while being quick and cheap to build in civil dockyards using the machinery (e.g. reciprocating steam engines instead of turbines) and construction techniques pioneered in the building of the Flower-class corvettes. Its purpose was to improve on the convoy escort classes in service with the Royal Navy at the time, including the Flower class. After commissioning in December 1942, Itchen participated in anti-submarine warfare exercises off Tobermory, Mull and Lough Foyle until mid September 1943 where she was assigned as convoy escort. On 19 September 1943, Itchen was involved in the U-boat attack on Convoys ONS 18/ON 202. At 21:51 on 20 September, HMCS St. Croix was hit and sunk, with 81 survivors being picked up by Itchen. During this, at 22:53 on 20 September, the German submarine U-305 fired a torpedo at Itchen but missed and HMS Polyanthus was sunk screening the rescue. At 02:01 on the morning of 23 September, U-666 fired a torpedo at Itchen which hit the ship after 70 seconds. The frigate blew up with loss of 230 lives and 3 survivors. These ships were some of the first victims of the newly developed GNAT torpedo. The survivors were picked up by SS Wisła. (en)
