HMS Urge (Lt.Cdr. E.P. Tomkinson, R.N., DSO and Bar) left Malta on 27 April 1942. She failed to arrive at Alexandria on 6 May 1942 and was reported overdue on that day. Most likely she was lost on Italian mines off Malta. There is also a possibility that she was sunk on 29 April 1942 off Ras el Hilal, Libya by Italian aircraft or that she was sunk by the Italian torpedo boat Pegaso in the eastern Mediterranean.
