Sims Charged With Denying Credit to US Sub Crew
Washington May 15 Rear Admiral Sims accused of denying U S sub crews full credit for battles by deferring investigations to British admiralty. Secretary Daniels told Senate naval committee American crews were undercredited in reports of submarine actions, with some sinkings attributed to British forces. The controversy centers on credit for the sinking of a submarine and the fate of American destroyers like the Fanning, amid calls for more complete prisoner and wreckage evidence before awarding credit.
