Re: UB 64 (and Justicia) rears her head again

I used the log book of Marne and the various reports in ADM 137/2620, including those of Rear Admiral Miller SNO Buncrana and the convoy commodore - which are quite contradictory. Admiral Miller's report to Admiralty seems to have formed the basis of everything that has been written about the Justicia affair. I have been attempting to reconcile the information with firing times given in Spindler. I think credit for the killer torpedo strike must go to UB 164 as judging from the firing times there is no evidence that any of U 54's torpedoes hit Justicia.

I was also trying to ascertain whether UB 64 suffered much damage in the attack on 19.7 as Portia's look-outs spotted what they took to be a significant oil slick
