Ansaldo III

"The U117 had a long combat on August 20 (1918), with the Italian
steamer ANSALDO III, the steamer escaping after a gun duel that
lasted nearly three hours...."

OUR NAVY AT WAR Josephus Daniels

Lloyds War losses lists the ship as the ANSALDO I. A mistake I believe.

Others sources list 3 crew wounded, several shell hits and one gun
put out of commission. The incident occured at 38 57N; 70 48W at 7 a.m..

Respectfully submitted,

Joe R
