Re: U-570/HMS Graph

Dear Thorsten,

Thanks.

I take your point about Wikipedia, but no one appears to be inclined to change the incorrect information in uboat.net either - which is surprising.

In two places under the heading "U-570" the commissioning date in uboat.net is said to be 19 September 1941 - which is just not true.

U-570 arrived at Barrow as "U-570", even though it was flying the White Ensign, and it was not commissioned as HMS Graph until after its arrival.

Finally, by the way, the Wikipedia "story" about the origin of the name "Graph" is a load of rubbish.

Yours aye,

Derek.
