Hi Joe and thanks for that - however the British dispatches from
the period state otherwise.
I have a personal account from an officer on a Light Cruiser
stating 'periscope sighted' and there is a U Boat listed as sunk.
I attach section of Royal Navy dispatches from the battle.
I know the official line is that no subs were involved, and
I understand why - they didn't have the range/endurance required -
so I'm confused about the report.
Best regards, Pete
