SS Fiscus was a UK cargo steamship that was built in 1928, served in the Second World War and was sunk by a U-boat in 1940.

[1] The boilers fed a three-cylinder triple expansion steam engine that was rated at 432 NHP and drove a single screw.

At 2355 hours on 18 October SC 7 was east of Rockall in the Western Approaches when the German submarine U-99 commanded by Kapitänleutnant Otto Kretschmer torpedoed Fiscus.

A lifeboat from the Norwegian cargo steamship SS Snefjeld, which had been sunk earlier by U-99, sighted him standing on some débris and took him aboard.

[12] They had joined Fiscus' crew a few months earlier using a forged letter purporting to be from their father giving them permission to go to sea.
