Notes:

Pilot sighted a U boat on the surface and dropped a stick of depth charges across it. Discovering that it was unable to dive, he climbed to 700ft and dropped anti-submarinebombs. Meanwhile his gunners picked off several U boat crew who are trying to man the guns. The U boat slid stern first under the water.
