<HTML>On the 5th of May 1943 about 13.30 p.m. an U-Boot attacked on the surface the English tug "Dexterous". The Dexterous left Saint Johns, Canada to join a convoy of about 40 ships + aircraftcarrier to England. Both ships fired on each other for about 10 minutes. At that time the convoy appeared on the horizon and the U-Boot dived en disappeared.The convoy seperated in the Irish Sea and the Dexterous went to Campbeltown.Arrival 16th of May.
Can somebody tell me the name of the convoy and the number of the U-Boot?</HTML>
