U-Boat Chasers Do Great Work In Durazzo Engagement

A squadron of 12 American submarine chasers formed screen for bombardment ships at Durazzo. Under Capt. C. P. Nelson and Lieut. Com. P. H. Bastedo the unit faced heavy fire with no casualties and reportedly sank one Austro-Hungarian submarine and damaged another. They escorted a hit British cruiser to base and examined an enemy hospital ship. The operation praised by British observers marks a notable first for chasers patrolling and depth charging against submarines in the Adriatic theater.
