Hello 'U' experts
I have been researching events off the Irish coast on October 2nd 1917. According to British sources U79
succeeded in sinking three British ships, two of them Royal Navy warships
They were: cruiser HMS Drake
Destroyer HMS Brisk (inbound convoy HH24 escort)
and a merchant SS Lugano (inbound convoy HH24)
Can anyone out there with U79's KTB confirm that this is the case ?
