In addition to her coastal duties, "Draug" also carried out more unconventional operations, such as towing Norwegian motor torpedo boats to and from the coast of southern Norway. This greatly increased the range of the small MTBs, thus allowing them to carry out attacks on German-controlled convoys in the occupied homeland. The first attack made by a Norwegian MTB in Norwegian waters happened on 3 October 1941, when "MTB 56" was towed into position by "Draug" and proceeded to torpedo and sink off Kyrholmen the escorted 3,015 ton Norwegian tanker MT "Borgny" of Oslo, which had been requisitioned by the Germans and was carrying 3,500 tons of aviation fuel for the Luftwaffe in Norway. After the successful attack "MTB 56" dodged shells from both the escorts and a coastal battery at Korsneset and met "Draug" the next morning to be towed back to Lerwick in Shetland. Fourteen Norwegian sailors died on "Borgny", which was escorted by two German naval vessels at the time of the attack.
