Note the report in column 5: "British Subs Sink Nazi Supply Ships" |
(The headline indicates that more than one ship was sunk, but the report only claims hits on two ships and one sunk. The submarine H-49 did attack such a convoy and did score one hit on a tanker, not two as the report states. The other submarine, HMS Tuna, sank the 1,280-ton Ostmark on Sept. 24th, which could hardly be classified as a "large" ship.) |
