<HTML>Yves,

Both identifications are presumptive, based on the general characteristics of the wrecks. The English east coast was a destination and not a stop on a passage way to someplace else. Only one UBII and one UBIII are missing in the area.

On UB 75, the divers notes that she has four bow and one stern tube, was about 50 to 55 meters long, had an 88mm gun about 2 meters in front of the conning tower. We will never be able to get an ID off her props as they are buried in the sand.

Best wishes,

Michael</HTML>
