American Merchantman Bests Axis Raiders In Gulf Battle
The American freighter Alenes, a medium cargo ship, arrived at port after a run of two engagements with Axis submarines in the Gulf of Mexico on May 20. Capt Tryver Angell led a gun crew that damaged or sunk one submarine and forced another to dive, with shell fragments wounding the vessel but the crew managing fires and maneuvering to safety. The chase began at dawn as periscopes appeared off the port bow, followed by a rapid exchange of shells and tracer fire as the submarine pressed its attack and the Angell crew repelled it. The day ended with the submarines retreating and the Alenes continuing its voyage.
