Re: Soviet Sub B-1 "Sunfish" sunk by British Coastal Command
All I have avail. is the Russian Archives suspecting RN accountable for the incident
considering also a floating mine and a technical malfunction as a possibility. I am not aware of any
SAR activity past the tragedy nor any salvage effort post WWII. One thing which I am still
trying to understand is based on what evidences the Soviets concluded B1 did not respond
the Lib IFF interrogation . From my material is not evident if there was just a Radar contact
with the sub , visual or both before depth charges were thrown.
