German submarine captured by U.S. Navy ships off West Africa.
German submarine captured by U.S. Navy ships off West Africa. With a boathook poised to prevent a crash against the U-505's conning tower, men of the U.S.S. Pillsburg, a destroyer escort, prepare to board the German submarine whose decks are already awash. Members of the boarding party, headed by an engineering officer, risked their lives in capturing the enemy ship intact. The vessel might have blown up at any minute from demolition charges set by the German crew before they abandened her.
