Well, I was able to "partially" intercept the Task Force at 0028, July 6, 1943. A Clemson Destroyer was firing at me and U51 received some damage. Sunk it. Then a River Destroyer Escort came at me and I sunk it, then another River DE came at me and I sunk it, and yet another River DE came at me and I sunk it. Sonar report two warships left, but I could no longer keep up with them and sonar lost contact 0138. Because I could only do 13 kts now I called off the pursuit. I didn't care that there were two left. I could not catch them. They were gone, poof! Well, that was my first attack on a task force. I have no idea what the other two warships were.
