(U.S. officials are still not sure that the Robin Moor was sunk by a German U-boat or not. In fact, it was sunk by U-69 and it was the first U.S. merchant ship sunk by direct enemy action in World War II. The first U.S. owned ship sunk in World War II was the City of Rayville, which was sunk by a mine laid by the German auxiliary minelayer Passat on Nov. 9, 1940. The first U.S. owned merchant ship sunk by direct enemy action was the Charles Pratt, sunk by U-65 on Dec. 21, 1940, but it had been transferred to Panama and was flying the Panamanian flag when lost. Robin Moor was known by the U-boat commander to be a U.S. ship when it was sunk.) |
