Troop transport Santa Elena, struck by aerial torpedo while in convoy KMF 25A the previous afternoon, suffers further damage when accidentally rammed by damaged Dutch transport Marnix Van St. Aldegonde (then under tow). The cumulative damage from the torpedo and the collision nullifies the efforts to tow the crippled Santa Elena to port and she sinks that morning. Four of the 133-man merchant crew perish in the abandonment, but the 44-man Armed Guard survives intact.
