Attacks on U-91 during this patrol
31 Oct 1943
Avengers from the USS Card found U-91 refuelling U-584 and called in other aircraft. After initially repelling them with flak, U-91 dived while U-584 stayed on the surface. U-584 was sunk with all hands by Fido homing torpedoes when she attempted to dive. U-91 escaped unscathed and escaped the subsequent search. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 438)
