Hello Dänemark,
I see your point but I have to admit I find the phrasing a bit odd. Compare for example with what is written about UB74:
"Sunk by depth charges from patrol yacht Lorna in Lyme Bay at 5032N 0232W. 35 dead (all hands lost)"
There were 4 men in the water after the sub had been DC'ed by Lorna, three of those were killed when another DC was dropped, the fourth was brought aboard alive but died shortly afterwards. Shouldn't we have four survivors in this case?
Regards Jan-Olof
