You may also add to these:
HADDO (SS-255) and HAKE (SS-256). These eight submarines actually sank one Vichy French freighter (VILLE DE HAVRE) and a German minesweeper (M 4242), a German patrol boat (V 408), damaged a Spanish tanker (CAMPOMANES in an incident which was hushed up) and the blockade runner PIETRO ORSEOLO. In addition the German destroyer Z 23 and ore carrier NORDFELS were hit by torpedoes which failed to explode (a problem which would plague American submarines in the first months of the war).
One must also include the submarines of SubRon 7 which carried out some A/S patrols from Bermuda. I believe that their records are incomplete but at least R-1 (SS-78), R-5 (SS-82), R-6 (SS-83), R-7 (SS-84), R-9 (SS-86) and R-18 (SS-95) carried out A/S patrols in 1942.
