ENEMY SUBMARINE
ATTACKED BY BRITISH AIRCRAFT SALVO OF BOMBS DROPPED. INDICATION OF DIRECT HIT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.25 a.m.) RUGBY. November 13. The Air Ministry announces an attack on an enemy submarine by a British reconnaissance aircraft of the Coastal Command. The submarine was on the surface when the attack was delivered. It began to submerge rapidly as soon as the attack developed. A salvo of bombs was dropped to port and starboard. One appeared to the pilot to make a direct hit when the submarine was at periscope depth. This impression was confirmed by the air gunner. The sea was very rough and the broken water made it impossible for signs of damage to be accurately observed.
