According to Rick Atkinson in ‘An Army at Dawn: the War in North Africa, 1942-1943’, on November 7 1942 the USS Thomas Stone, a troopship, was torpedoed ‘…at daybreak …thirtythree miles off of the Spanish coast’. The ship didn’t sink and the troops aboard took to their landing craft and attempted to carry on to Algiers. There is no mention of who fired the torpedo but it is clear from the context that Atkinson believes it was a German U-boat. Does anyone know which one, or if it was another type of craft?
Thanks,
