<HTML>HiYa Fin,
Long time no see! (wasnt the saying from Radio Nederland in Hilversum, Holland, \"Keep in touch with the Dutch\")? Well the Dutch must also keep in touch with us !! -- That goes for you too William E.

If you can check out \"The Hunters and The Hunted\"
(Jäger-Gejagte!) - Jochen Brennecke.
Chapter VIII - mentions that U 556 (Wohlfahrt) had both HM Ships Renown and Ark Royal at right angles to her bow but the last torpedoes had been fired. The bulk of the chapter is of U 74 (Kentrat) took over from U 556 to try and get the KTB of the Bismarck. She didnt but did rescue three survivors. I can get the relative chapter to you if you havent got it.
Greetings
