16 Aug 18 Irish Sea - U-boat? vs. 3x USN DDs, RAF blimp

On 16 August 1918, the Queenstown-based US destroyers Downes, Sterrett and Paulding and the British airship SS.Z.16, escorting convoy CL 29 outward bound from Liverpool, prosecuted a submarine contact in the Irish Sea and were considered to have "probably damaged? a U-boat.

Is there any evidence from the German side of an actual U-boat being involved in this action?

thanks,
David Isby
