Re: Q ship HMS Stonecrop v U boat? 17th Sept 1917

Nigel,

There no issue as to which U-boat the Stonecrop engaged on September 17, 1917, That was U 151.

U 88 is a different matter. The presumption is that she was mined off the Dutch coast while outbound, but the wreck has, as far as I am aware, not been found to date. The fact that U 88 did not account for any ships‚ and Schwieger was a very aggressive commander, suggests that U 88 was lost before U 88 operated on her patrol station for an appreciable period of time.

Best wishes,
Michael
