Transport Sinks U Boat With U.S. Troops Aboard
American gun crews aboard a transport carrying Uncle Sam’s troops to France claim they sank a German U-boat after it fired a torpedo at the ship. Gunner James J. Bray of South Boston described zigzag evasive action and the sinking of the submarine as the transport crossed the Atlantic. Bray, part of a fifty-man naval gun crew, said officers and crew of the U-boat were seen struggling in the water as it went down. The account notes U.S. officials say there was no order to allow drowning of enemy sailors and that official reports differ from Bray’s version.
