Sailor Steve;

Thanks for link to the paper written by David Wright. This paper is a very interesting read up to Chapter 7 Explaining the Torpedo Crisis. Definitely felt the frustrations of the U-boat captains with the faulty torpedoes and the TVA.

My screaming "Another DUD!" at my monitor is nothing compared what these men went through especially with the MZ's early detonations alerting DD's to their locations and subject them to a punishing depth charge attack.
