At 22.02 hours on 28 Dec, 1942, U-225 fired torpedoes at the convoy ONS-154 north of the Azores and reported two ships sunk and two others probably sunk. In fact, the Melmore Head in station #113 was hit by two torpedoes and blew up and the stern torpedo hit the Ville de Rouen, which was later finished off by U-662 (Hermann). 13 crew members and one gunner from Melmore Head (Master William John Leinster) were lost
