While researching the Senateur Duhamel (which i wrote about on Saturday) I found mention that it had towed a ship damaged by a torpedo into Morehead City, NC in April 1942. So, not every ship hit by a torpedo or attacked by a U-boat always ended up sinking. I hadn't thought of that. I have just been listing ships that sank.
June 24th: LJUBICA-- freighter, torpedoed and sunk by U-404
June 25th: NORDAL-- freighter, torpedoed and sunk by U-404.
June 25th: MANUELA--freighter, torpedoed and sunk by U-404, 2 killed.

June 25th TAMESIS-- freighter, torpedoed and sunk by U-701.
June 27th: BRITISH FREEDOM-- tanker, torpedoed and sunk by U-701.
June 28th: WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER-- tanker, torpedoed by U-701.
June 30th: CITY OF BIRMINGHAM-- passenger ship, torpedoed and sunk by U-202, 9 killed.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
