British U Boat Sinks German Cruiser in Atlantic Action
British reports claim the U-boat Ursula torpedoed and sank a Koeln class German cruiser at the Elbe mouth amid other wartime actions. The sinking followed the scuttling of the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee and ongoing Atlantic operations. The Royal Oak loss is recalled as a motivator for bold submarine strikes and prisoner tallies rose to 169 after another German submarine was sunk.
