<HTML>Hi Frank,
Good to see you again here. I agree Prien should definitely be near the top of the list. But my vote has to go with Ralph Kapitzky and the last battle of U-615 in the Caribbean. He never gave up and neither did his crew. They successfully fought off several aircraft. He should have gotten the honored for that in the German Kriegsmarine for that action. But circumstances never allowed that.
Interesting post.
Best wishes,
