⚓️ The Loss of HMS Courageous – September 17, 1939 ⚓️

On this day in 1939, just two weeks into the Second World War, the Royal Navy suffered its first major loss at sea. HMS Courageous, once a First World War battlecruiser and later converted into an aircraft carrier, was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-29 off the coast of Ireland.

Courageous had been leading an anti-submarine patrol with Fairey Swordfish aboard from 811 and 822 Squadrons. On the evening of September 17, she turned into the wind to launch aircraft — an action that brought her directly across the path of U-29, commanded by Kapitänleutnant Otto Schuhart. After stalking the carrier for more than two hours, the submarine struck. Three torpedoes were fired; two hit the port side. Within minutes, Courageous lost all power, rolled to port, and capsized. She sank in just 20 minutes, taking 519 men, including her captain, with her.

Rescue ships, including the Dutch liner Veendam and the American freighter Collingsworth, managed to save survivors, while her escorting destroyers counterattacked the submarine for hours — but U-29 escaped.

The loss of Courageous reverberated across both navies. For Britain, it was a sobering reminder of the U-boat threat, prompting the Royal Navy to withdraw its fleet carriers from anti-submarine patrols. For Germany, it was a propaganda victory. Commodore Karl Dönitz hailed the sinking as “a wonderful success,” and Schuhart and his crew were decorated for the action.

Courageous was the first British warship sunk by enemy action in WWII — a grim marker of the deadly struggle at sea that had only just begun.
