German submarine after a hit by a U.S. torpedo in Atlantic Ocean. "File No: W-ES-90-68715. July 16, 1943. Blasting Nazi Wolf Packs, Planes of Escort Carrier Save Convoy. Shepherding a convoy, planes of Escort Carrier "B" carried the fight to 11 submarines of a pair of Nazi "wolf packs." Taking off from and landing on the made-over merchant vessel they scored two "sure kills", four "very probable", and four "Probable". Hard-hitting fighters and torpedo bombers swooped to the attack.
Seeking out the wolf packs as they began to converge, Escort Carrier "B" dispersed the undersea foe with such stunning blows that no sub came within miles of the convoy. Not a ship was lost. These spectacular aerial pictures were made by a U.S. Navy photographer flying in the carrier's planes. They depict phases of four distinct actions, including both of the sure kills. (6) Single Sub Target of Carrier's Planes - In a low bombing dive Nazi U-boat and her long wake of spray were caught by the Navy photographer, as bombs were dropped from the plane in which he flew. This single under seas raider was the sole object of the third action of Escort Carrier "B". She chose to remain top-side and fight it out. - Official U.S. Navy Photograph." 16 July 1943
