Quote from a book I'm reading:
"As they absorbed the gist of these, shock-waves of dismay coursed through the vessel as one by one they heard the worst:
5 May: Destroyer. Attacked. Sinking. U-638.
5 May: Attacked by destroyers. Depth Charges. Leave boat. U-531.
6 May. Attacked by corvette. Sinking. U-438."
Dimbleby, Jonathan. The Battle of the Atlantic: How the Allies Won the War (p. 402). Oxford University Press. Kindle Edition.
Pretty impressive discipline if you're a radio operator on a submarine and you see the hull of your sub breached and you have the wherewithal to follow orders and radio back news of your ship's sinking and what caused it.
