Attacks on U-705 during this patrol
25 Aug 1942
At 05.24 hrs HMS Viscount sighted a surfaced U-boat following convoy ONS 122 in fog, which dived immediately. Five depth charges were launched over two runs until contact was lost at 05.53 hrs. A box search was then carried out, which produced a radar contact at 06.09 hrs, a U-boat being sighted two minutes later, which was assumed to be the same one. It was in fact U-176, while the first was probably U-705. (Sources: ADM reports)
