If Captain Claudius and his crew were successful in hitting and sinking the sub was it another sub spotted 140 miles away am I missing a point?

Yes. Many U-Boats prowled off the American coast and did huge amounts of damage.

My father was in Florida at the time and he said they would go down to the beach at night and watch the ships burn after the U-boats attacked them.
