Hi Troops:
I am posting the item below from the ship modelers mailing list. I must wonder if there are any crew members of the PC-566 still around and what they think after all these years. There can't be many U-boats that fell to the little PC's, quite an achievement. I would guess they filed their report and since there was no debris it was simply logged as another un successful attack and forgotten.

Re sunken sub debris found recently in the Gulf of Mexico near the US ship it sank. It in turn was sunk by US PC 566. Up to this discovery, the crew of PC 566 was not aware that they had sunk the sub -- it still counts as a victory.
