"Owen Sounder in Successful Attack on U-Boat," Owen Sound Sun-Times. October 1, 1942. Page 1. ----- 'Pictured above are three of the four members of the crew of a Hudson bomber which, Air Minister Power announced recently, attacked a Nazi U-boat in the Atlantic eff Canada's East Coast, The submarine was caught on the surface and while it crash dived at first sight of the aircraft, depth charges straddled its hull before it was fully submerged. A good deal of debris was blown to the surface and oil bubbled up spreading to a patch 2 miles long and 25 feet wide. There was not sufficient evidence of the U-boat's "death" to claim a "kill" but the assessment officers ruled that the sub had at least suffered "considerable damage." From LEFT to RIGHT are pictured Flight Sergeant N J. Gardner of Toronto; Pilot Offer W. Graham of Vancouver, the "skipper"; and Flight Sgt. J. F. Dobbie of Owen Sound, the wireless operator.

It illustrates the difficulties of the #BattleOfTheAtlantic. The destroyers were called Greyhounds because they are fast.

Remember the Battle of the Atlantic: September 1939–May 1943.

Submarine warfare had some impact in the First World War, but became vastly more significant in WWII as the German U-boat packs aimed to blockade Europe. Merchant ships took to sailing in large convoys, protected by screens of destroyers and corvettes armed with depth charges and sonar. Daring U-Boat commanders carried out torpedo attacks within the defensive screen, and when several submarines attacked at once, the defenders had little chance of striking back.

In the end, the Battle of the Atlantic was eventually won by technology. Radar to detect U-Boats from the surface, radio interception, and code-breaking all played a part. By the end of the war, more than 3,000 merchant ships had been sunk, as well as almost 800 U-Boats.
