| Footnote : | "Archimede" attacked a big vessel escorting the damaged and burning "Commandante Lyra" under tow by a U.S. tug. A hit on a heavy cruiser of "Pensacola"-class was assumed, but in reality the detonation might have been a depth charge from "Moffett", dropped against a U-boat located by sonar. |
