Another source says that a Turkish sub sunk the Portugal:
"...The Russian hospital ship Portugal was sunk by a Turkish submarine March 30" [1]
Since you've created SM U-33 I assume that you're satisfied with the answer? U-33 was a German built, commissioned and manned submarine, under Konrad Gansser, serving with the Constantinople Flotilla in support of Turkish forces. The New York Times report, produced in the immediate aftermath of the events, simply made a mistake. UB-33 served in the Baltic and North Sea/English Channel, while UC-33 served in the North Sea, ranging into the Atlantic to patrol off the Irish coast and in the Western Approaches.

Yeah thanks since creating U-33 I've come across more info that U-33 sunk Portugal. I just wanted some more input from experienced Ship editors. -- Esemono (talk) 01:10, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
