Decoy Ship Tows Submarine

On one of the other posts someone asked about towing a U-boat so that it would not be detedcted.

I pinched this item from today's Wahington Post's Achenblog, originally posted by Curmudgeon.

June 23, 1915: Perfidious Albion: German submarine U-40 (Capt. Furbinger) surfaces to attack the British trawler Taranaki, never realizing the trawler is a decoy and is towing submerged British submarine C-24 (Lt. Taylor). Before Furbinger can line up his surface shot, Taylor torpedoes and sinks U-40. When he is fished from the water, Furbinger furiously protests this “dirty trick.”
