In a different place (entrance to Norfolk harbor and the Chesapeake bay), there were mines laid by Degen just before his boat (U-701) was sunk off the VA/NC coast in July, 1942. Approx. half a dozen ships were hit by these mines (a convoy was approaching soon after they were laid) and were heavily damaged or sunk.
