HMCS LEVIS torpedoed by U 74 on 19 September 1941, 120 miles east of Cape Farewell, Greenland while escorting Convoy SC-44. The torpedo struck the corvette just ahead the 4 inch forward gun, blowing a large hole in her bow. Damage control was initially effective and she was taken in tow. LEVIS remained afloat for several hours, eventually she began to settle in the water and rolled over and sank, eighteen of her crew of sixty-one were killed.
