History

The former fruit transport ship Felix-Henri was modified into an auxiliary cruiser by the French in 1940. Captured by German troops on 14.12.1942 in Marseilles, it was modified into the fast escort vessel SG10 and commissioned on 01.05.1943 and attached to the 3rd escort flotilla. After three months of service, it was sunk after two torpedo hits by the British submarine Sikle on 28.08.1943 near Corsica.
