Q Ship?
U-123
14:07hrs. 20 October 1940 (GWX 2.1)
15 miles south of Cape Sao Vicente
Light seas.
While on the surface, we sighted a large British freighter (black hull, white superstructure). 3,000 meters away.
We commenced a dive for a torpedo attack. 2 artillery shells flew overhead and hit long.
We got into attack position and fired one torpedo from 800 meters. The torpedo hit right under the foremast and the ship began to loose speed and to sink.
Further inspection did not reveal any guns on the ship.
Was this a Q ship with hidden guns? :hmm:
