Re: U-153, collision with U-583

I don't think so.. the accident happened at night during tactical exercises in heavy seas. The U-boats saw each other only at a distance of 150 metres, U-153 tried to avoid the collision but rammed U-583 on the port side aft of the deck gun, causing her to sink fast.
