I was reading up on it, and of the three candidates which may have torpedoed the ship, all three were lost later in the war. Unfortunately, the skipper who looks like he was responsible didn't die until 1991.

Of course, he may have just moved to a new address..

A member of our church was nurse on the ship. She didn't survive the sinking. There is a memorial to her on the back wall of the church.

RIP
Happy Times

You do have an animation for everything, don't you, Jim?:O:

I heard about the Centaur. But I did not know that she was "lost". Nice find.

And I assume the crew that flew Enola Gay have their own new address:
