"File No. R-ES-147-43638. Released: November 10, 1943. U.S.S. Card sub destruction record. Catching them two at a time, the U.S.S. Card, an escort aircraft carrier, along with her air squadrons and three accompanying destroyers has blasted into oblivion more submarines than any other combination in naval history. Converted from a merchant hull, the baby flat top was commissioned a year ago. Deadly protector of the convoy lanes, she has sent her planes into combat all the way across the Atlantic, mixing it with Nazi wolf packs wherever they showed their periscopes. Recently she returned to an east coast port with two of her combat teammates to receive a presidential unit citation. The other teammate, the USS Borie, an overage destroyer, had been "killed in action" and lay at the bottom of the Atlantic. This series of Official Navy Photographs tells of her heroic exploits from the time of her commissioning to the days when she was blasting them, two at a sitting. (3) U-boat crew gives up the struggle - Crewmen of a German submarine, wearing life preservers, watch the attacking planes, as they prepare to go over the side. After an attack by Lt. (jg) G.G. Hogan, USNR, they gave up without firing a shot. The fish painted on the conning tower seems to be smiling on the scene. - Official U.S. Navy Photograph." Atlantic Ocean. 1943
