U-201 has intercepted a fast liner but it turns out to be neutral and she has to let her go.

U-201 approaches St. Nazaire closely behind her escort.


U-201 enters port alongside various small craft who have come out to meet her. Six pennant are raised from her periscope.


U-201 safely back in port, moored in the Penhoët Basin. Six pennants, representing 52000 tons, fly proudly from her periscope and a new emblem is displayed on her conning tower. The previous emblem had weathered away and had been painted over after repairs to the conning tower after the last patrol. On the way back to port the crew paints a new emblem on the conning tower. It is a porcupine to celebrate the successful convoy operations off Porcupine Bank and inspired by the poetic message send by the commander after the attacks.
