| Footnote : | "John Carter Rose" was attacked on 7th October short after midnight without success from U-201 and U-202 all together; both submarines lost contact thereafter. Only U-201 was lucky to gain contact once more. On 8th October at 2:32h she claimed a hit. As the steamer was still afloat after a coup de grâce at 6:06h, it was definitely sunk by artillery fire. |
