Attacks on U-505 during this patrol
8 Jul 1943
On its 6th day out of Lorient 3 British destroyes from a hunter-killer group hunted the boat for 36 hours (assisted by a leak in an external fuel tank). Finally the boat managed to shake the hunters and return to Lorient, France on July 13 for repairs. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 383.)
