The number of Allied ships sunk off the coast picked up significantly from the May results, which had just one non-warship sunk. Of interest, there weer quite a few ships sunk off the NC coast in June 1918 by the U-151. I didn't know German U-boats operated off the coast during the First World War. I'll list these ships in my Cooter's History Thing Blog.
June 1st: WEST NOTUS, freighter, shelled and scuttled by the U-404, 12 killed.
June 3rd: ANNA, freighter, torpedoed and sunk by U-404.
June 7th: PLEASANTVILLE, torpedoed and sunk by U-135.
June 11th F.W. ABRAMS, tanker, struck Allied mine and sank.
June 19TH: USS YP-389, patrol craft, shelled and sunk by U-701, 6 killed.
And, there Are More. --GreGen
