Interesting that they are still getting found. I also was not aware that they went so far into Canada and I also dunno what their intentions could be to go there. I imagine it kinda hard to attack enemy ships, unless they use the gun on the deck. But they get be discovered earlier or later anyway and going there is some kind of deathtrap, isn't it ? Why not camp in the ocean around where the river hits the Ocean and they got enough room to utilize their torpedos.

Maybe it was just some Captain being to keen to do well.

Did you see "The Hunt for Red October"?  ;D Nah, I think it was a keen commander, or a very stupid one.

The Germans, forced to surface, manned their deck guns while another escort vessel, the USS Gandy, returned fire and rammed the U-boat. The third escort, the USS Peterson, then hit the U-boat with two more depth charges.
How can you damage a U-boat with depth charges when it has surfaced?

Canada, ey? Maybe it was spying on Project Habakkuk?  ;)

And concerning the depth charges on a surfaced sub; maybe they were set to go off at one meter depth or something. But seems a bit over-anxious: ramming, shooting ánd bombing it?

Does anybody know how much U boats are unaccounted for?

I saw the Hunt for Red October and I am pretty sure my state is not located in Canada.
