HNoMS Uredd  Royal Norwegian Navy World War II: Operation Seagull: The U-class submarine struck a mine and sank off Fugløyvær, Norway, on or after 10 February with the loss of all 40 people aboard.
USS YC-887  United States Navy The open lighter was reported by several United States Navy sources to have sunk on 3 February 1943 in heavy weather at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, together with YC-886. As the latter actually sank the day before and elsewhere in the Caribbean area, it is possible that the date and place in these sources are when and where the loss was reported, and not when and where it occurred.[32][265]
