Victory for planes sinks German U-117 in Atlantic test
A lone 168-pound bomb dropped from an F-6-L seaplane struck U-117 off Cape Charles Virginia on June 21, ending the first army navy air attack test. Nine bombs from three planes and precise range launched at 1,100 feet sent the former raider to 50 fathoms. The sinking stunned skeptical officers as 200 bombs prepared were unused and only 12 were employed in this dramatic demonstration.

Disappearances Near Cape Hatteras Deepen Pirate Theories
A wave of missing ships off Cape Hatteras near the Carroll A. Deering wreck prompts officials to probe piracy or submarine threats. The Yate and Albyn vanishings, along with others in fall 1926 and winter 1921, spur government action from the State Department to the Navy as searches widen and theories shift from mines to buccaneering.
