18:33 - We're working very hard right now on adding and editing the convoy information for ships hit by U-boats in the war.

- Added errata for book German U-Boat Losses During World War II.
14:36 - Added 9 photos of Ships Attacked by U-boats in the war. As always, if you have pictures of ships hit in the war we'd love to hear about it.I also updated the Events on this date page so that it will now publish the country flag of each ship hit instead of country code.
