...London. Escorting warships of the British, Polish and Norwegian navies sighted the submarines first in mid-Atlantic and for four days, in light and darkness, fought off the raiders with gunfire and depth charges. U.S. Navy and British Coastal Command planes patrolled the skies, swooping down on any sub bold enough to surface. Two submarines were probably destroyed. "Some" cargo carriers were sunk. The rest of the convoy, part of it probably destined for Russia, reached England intact...

Opening the massive door to the sub-freezing meat storage room, an attendant tells of the steaks and whole animals which once filled the room where now hangs only a lonely side of lamb...
...Four miles up, R.A.F. raiders circled over northern Italy. Static electricity in the sub-zero night sky flashed brilliantly around their ships.

...dusk they maneuvered into the middle of a coastwise convoy of six cargo ships and three small naval vessels. Away went the sub's torpedoes and down went two Jap merchantmen. Klakring let his crew take a look through the periscope at "this very pretty sight." When the other Jap ships, panic-stricken, turned and raced for the shore, Klakring surfaced and gave chase. He dogged one ship into a cove and plumped a torpedo into her middle. It was a lucky hit at long range. But, said Klakring, a soft-spoken Marylander, "If I had missed...
