1/ on 3 XII 1941 VETEHINEN attacked on surface (MTB-style ;) ) enemy convoy consisting of 7 ships. Is it known the exact location of the attack and result?! (4 torpedoes were fired, all presumed to be misses)
2/on 2 VII 1941 VESIHIISI attacked small merchant ship escorted by two FUGAS class minesweepers. Any idea what was the target?
3/according to Aromaa - http://users.tkk.fi/jaromaa/Navygallery ... s-cont.htm - on 3 VII 1941 SAUKKO attacked two PC in the harbour of Someri island. Though as far as I know this island was not in Soviet possession - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommers Any idea how to solve this discrepancy?
4/ on 5 VIII 1941 VESIHIISI attacked attacked convoy: transport HILDA, sweeper MENZINSKIJ, patrol boats MO-212 and MO-142. Is it possible to confirm the identity of the mentioned above vessels?!

I think, only soviet ships in conwoy, that may be targed for attack on 3/12/41, was ships from last Hango conwoy. If you need, i can serch about it later, but STALIN and VIRSAITIS from this conwoy sunk on mines, other losses absent.
Where was attack on 2.7.41? With this short data to target fit Netlayer SUROP, which lay 90 mines with escort of M/S UDARNIK and KRAB to north from Pakri lighthouse. They didn't fixed this attack, even if they were targets.
About 3/7/41 - no attacks was detected, but targeted was definetly MO-cutters. They attacked many subs by themselfs in Lavansaari and Vormsisaar areas, but i don't know details.
5.8.41 - about this case i can say only no attacks was detected by soviet side.
