| Description: | Comment from Hubert Desgagnés on November 10, 2010 "At 18.22 hours on 21 May, 1942, U-558 fired a torpedo at the unescorted Troisdoc and heard after 53 seconds a hit without detonation. The U-boat then surfaced and shelled the ship that sank by the bow about 40 miles northwest of Jamaica at 19.17 hours. The master and 17 crew members were picked up by the US Coast Guard cutter USS Mohawk (WPG 78). source: uboat.net" |
