I seriously doubt that Lockwood would have allowed one of his boats to just sit somewhere if they "ran out of Gas". Now if a skipper allowed such an event to take place which would be ridiculous, he would not be a skipper after such a blunder. The Bergall was escorted in after sustaining damage as was the Salmon. Even though the Salmon was deemed cost ineffective to repair . We did not want our technology to fall into the hands of the enemy. Scuttling would be ordered before such a thing would happen. Now I have too read and read (Thanks Steve....) to see if any of the fleet boats ran out of gas.....Where do i start?
