Bemerkungen : | Angriffsbericht Pipinos vom 13.04.1944: "At 04.20 in position 20 miles N of Suda Bay a convoy was sighted approaching from the southward, range 8 miles. PIPINOS dived and maneuvered to delay attacking until daylight. Unfortunately at 05.24 just after turning to a firing course at a range of 1500 m from the leading MV, an AS vessel was seen approaching from short range and PIPNOS had to go deep. This AS vessel was joined by another and both remained in the vicinity until 06.00. PIPNOS returned to periscope depth at 06.05 and identified the convoy as the MVs SALVATORE and SUZANNE escorted by one destroyer, 4 small AS vessels and two or three aircraft. |
