The Battle of Cape Burnas was a naval engagement between the Soviet and Romanian navies near the Burnas Lagoon in October 1942.

On 1 October 1942, the Soviet M-class submarine M-118 attacked and sank the German transport ship Salzburg, which was carrying on board 2,000 Soviet prisoners of war. After attacking, the submarine was located by a German BV 138C flying boat, and the Romanian gunboats Sublocotenent Ghiculescu and Stihi Eugen were sent to the scene. The two Romanian warships attacked the Soviet submarine with depth-charges, sinking her with all hands.[1][2][3]

Alternative versions

Recent surveys in the area failed to find the wreck in the alleged sinking location and it has been raised the alternative version that M-118 was lost due to a German seaplane attack[4] or from a Romanian field barrage "S-30".[5]

At the same time, one source reported that two Soviet submarines were sunk by Romanian surface units.[6] There are several Soviet submarines claimed to have been sunk by Romanian surface warships, but the two most valid claims are M-118 and Shch-206, sunk on 9 July 1941.[7]
