U-156torpedoed USN Blakeley in May 1942. U-156 later attempted to bombard Aruba oil facilites. A crew member was injured and was landed at Martinque in February 1942 for medical care.
State Dept. advised it would not tolerate the harbouring of a raider in American waters.
Ironically, Blakeley made emergency repairs at Martinque after being torpedoed.
