From the H Comical:

“According to historical accounts, a lookout spotted the torpedo coming in and alerted the steamer’s escort, the American submarine chaser USS PC-566. The sub immediately began dropping depth charges.”

Really? The sub dropped depth charges? What sank it?

The escort was a sub chaser. I think it must’ve been a destroyer or a Corvette, not a submarine.

Patrol craft. It was a surface ship.
