SHORTLY:somthing simple: what ship is this and what u-boat did it sink?

Buddahaid · 12-22-20, 01:49 PM

Q- ship?

Catfish · 12-22-20, 02:11 PM

Looks like Wonganella, but she did not sink any Uboat.

YES

SS Scorton - U 633?

Aktungbby · 12-23-20, 01:37 PM

NOPE:

Quote:

U-663 was sunk on 8 May 1943 in the Bay of Biscay in position 46°50′N 10°00′W, by depth charges from a No. 10 Squadron RAAF Sunderland. All hands were lost...

Jimbuna · 12-23-20, 01:43 PM

In the right hand column.

Quote:

Sunk 10 March 1943 in the North Atlantic in position 58°51′N 19°55′WCoordinates: 58°51′N 19°55′W, after being rammed by British freighter SS Scorton.

Catfish · 12-23-20, 01:51 PM

Something does not add up, Like Jim I read that U- 633 was rammed by civilian SS Scorton, but here it reads (Wikipedia):

"U-633 was sunk on 8 March 1943 in the North Atlantic south-west of Iceland, in position 58.21N, 31.00W, by depth charges from the US Coast Guard cutter USCGC Spencer. 43 dead (all hands lost). (Axel Niestlé, May 2005).[4]"

Aktungbby · 12-23-20, 02:06 PM

Well it wasn't SS Scorton...nor (big hint

) was it SS Olive Branch which sank U28 in 1917....although the modus operendi was similar...

Buddahaid · 12-23-20, 03:27 PM

The Norwegian steamship Rona and U-57?

Nope; U-57 was raised and refloated and then scuttled at war"s end. My 'modus operendi' depiction of the demise of the U-boat in question is accurate... a permanent farewell literally off Cape Farewell in '42.

Buddahaid · 12-23-20, 05:25 PM

Only one.

U-657. Sunk on 17 May 1943 in the North Atlantic south of Cape Farewell, Greenland, in position 58.54N, 42.33W, by depth charges from the British frigate HMS Swale.
