Re: Warhawks vs. Italian Navy destroyers
O.K.
this is why her 13th patrol was so short. U.593 left Toulon on 27 July and returned there (base of 29. U-Flottillie) on 08.08.43. U.593 was remarkably successful for a german sub. in the Mediterrean. She sank 2 destroyers, 2 landing ships, 1 minesweepers (= 5 warships with 6152t) and 9 merchants (41.384 grt) and damaged 1 ship (4853 grt) in 17 patrols (3 Atlantic including 1 to the US East Coast, 1 transfer to the Med., 13 in the Med.). U.593 was sank on 13.12.43 after a very long chase and all her crew survived. thanks for your info!!! it´s just another bit of history and one of the few cases that fighter aircraft damaged a german U-boat. Regards Monaco
