During the middle watch on 23rd February "UPRIGHT" located and sank by Torpedo a darkened and zigzagging enemy vessel carrying petrol to forces in Tripolitania, and during the middle watch on the 25th February he attacked and sank by Torpedo an enemy cruiser, escorted by two other enemy warships. Only twelve minutes elapsed between sighting this fast and powerful enemy ship and firing the torpedoes which sank it.
