U-553 started her patrol in BF74, and found nothing during that ninety-six hour search. Started heading north to patrol the west waters off Ireland. Came across a steam trawler flying a British flag.


After fumbling a rear torpedo shot, U-553 surfaced, paralleled their course, and opened up with the deck gun.


The cold waters quickly pulled her battered hull beneath the surface.


Soon after we received orders to AM49, and plotted course to proceed.
