Admiralty records recount four engagements with German submarines. An auxiliary naval craft forced an U‑boat to surrender after torpedo and gunfire damage, with two survivors rescued. In another encounter a periscope was followed by explosive charges, triggering a massive underwater explosion and oil slick. A third submarine was pursued, fired upon, and vanished after a stern‑end submerged reveal. A seaplane attacked a submarine near a merchant ship, with bombs dropping and the foe disappearing from sight.
