Attacks on U-198 during this patrol

31 May 1943
A corvette escorting a small but well escorted convoy in the Indian Ocean attacked the boat and drove it very deep. No serious damage. At 19.43 hrs the boat fired at an approaching British Catalina (RAF Sqn 262/C) flying boat and then escaped by crash-diving, but subsequently lost the convoy. (Sources: Rohwer/Ritschel)
