If anyone is interested, I've put togather a mission for U-701 on 28 June 1942. Kapitänleutnant Horst Degen's U-701 was a top scoring type VII boat off north America. He accomplished this feat not so much by by torpedo, but by mines that were laid in the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. U-701 was even successful in sinking a Coast Guard vessel via deck gun in a night dual! This mission includes GWX 2.0 Hudson Bombers as the air portion of SS William Rockefeller's escort.
Unfortunately, there was one thing in particular that greatly displeased me in my reading about this particular boat.
It is the work of modern- day wreck looters! They have really gone too far! This is one of the only U-Boats that until recently was unmolested in US Waters.
U-701 IS A WAR GRAVE AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED AS SUCH!!! It disgusts me that this U-Boat has also fallen victim to the selfish wreck-looting community of some unscrupulous divers. I am VERY sure that the individuals doing this would not be happy if someone were to dig up THEIR parent's or grandparent's grave in search of souvenirs! It makes me sick.
