<HTML>Hi everyone!
There were three U-Boats that I know of that laid mines in the Chesapeake Bay area.
U-701 laid 15 mines off the entrance to Chesapeake Bay on 12th June 1942. The resulting minefield sank two ships and damaged three others.
As mentioned, the U-203 laid eight mines on 27th/28th July off Norfolk. A couple of nights later the U-566 laid twelve mines in the same location. These two minefields sank no ships.
Hope this has been of help.
All the best,
Andrew</HTML>
