[edit] Sinking

She was sunk by IJN Subchaser 102 - the converted ex USS Stewart (DD-224) (captured in damaged condition at Soerabaja in 1942.)

Evidence indicates that you are correct - but the ship was Patrol Boat No. 102 (formerly the USS Stewart).

I see conflicting accounts of this event, some claiming she was sunk by Stewart and others by a Thai vessel. Do we have a reliable source for this? Drutt (talk) 02:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
