U-boats Off the North Carolina Coast, March 1942-- Part 5

March 18th: the destroyer USS DICKERSON was shelled by the LIBERATOR; 4 killed (it wasn't sunk and, of course, not sunk by a U-boat, but just to show the tension along the coast) //// March 19th: LIBERATOR-- freighter; sunk by the U-332; 5 killed. //// March 21st: ATLANTIC SUN-- tanker, sunk by the U-124. //// March 22nd: ESSO NASHVILLE-- tanker, sunk by U-124. //// March 23rd: NAECO-- tanker, sunk by U-124; 24 killed. //// March 25th: NARRAGANSETT--tanker, sunk by U-105; 49 killed. //// Kind of interesting to see the freighter Liberator fired on a ship that was there to protect it on March 18th and then was sunk itself on the next day. //// Still Not Done With March Sinkings. --GreGen
