[1] She also launched unsuccessful attacks on the following ships: On 23 February 1943 Turbulent sailed from Algiers for a patrol in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
On 3 March she shelled and sank the Italian motorsailers Gesù Giuseppe e Maria and Pier Delle Vigne.
On 12 March the anti-submarine trawler Teti II sighted the periscope and conning tower of a submarine and attacked.
Although the success of the attack is not sure, as a matter of fact Turbulent did not respond to any further messages and did not return when expected on 23 March.
So, it was thought for a long time that either Turbulent fell victim of the Teti II attack or of a mine off Maddalena, Sardinia.
[3] In recognition of this achievement, and the gallantry of Turbulent's crew, her commander, John Wallace Linton, DSO DSC RN was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross in May 1943.
