[Seaman Staines]

She was originally assigned to patrol the east coast of the US, but was reassigned to Gibraltar enroute. Apparently, the orders were never received. She was assumed to have received the orders but not confirmed them. US naval records from the time indicate an unidentified U-Boat sunk by warships near her reassigned position at Gibraltar, so historians just assumed it was U-869 and closed the case. Until the wreck was found and positively identified off the coast of New Jersey in 1997 nobody bothered to question it.
