<HTML>Hi Kurt,
I agree with everything you stated, except that there were only minimal attacks with deck guns in the Atlantic.
The German U-boats used their 88 mm guns extensivly on merchant shipping when they run short of torpedoes or even had no torpedoes at all.
Many incidents about artillery sinkings are written down and veryfied.
Best Regards, Torlef</HTML>
