Thanks a lot, Brian. Correction is already made.
Moreover I found an attack on a whale, which was not noticed in ASA until today:

P.S. The attack was perhaps ignored by Rohwer, as commander Jewell himself became aware of his mistake, but at first Jewell had made the decision to fire a torpedo against an unidentified contact, supposedly an u-boat:

Hi Thomas,

HMS Seraph / P 219 is currently in the process of being updated as the last of the 3rd and 4th group S-class boats. Hopefully it will be finished within two weeks.


Best regards,
