Good afternoon -

This is a great article. I only wish to point out that the location of the sinking of the USS Plymouth may erroneously refer to a shore point called Elizabeth City, NJ. I think the author may have meant to write "Elizabeth City, NC" which would coincide with other accounts that put the sinking off Cape Henry, VA.

Another reason for my assertion is that no one refers to Elizabeth, NJ as "Elizabeth City". There is a section called "Elizabeth Port", but the main part of town is always referred to simply as Elizabeth. My family is from there and in my 46 years of life, I have never heard it referred to as "Elizabeth City".

Also, because of it's location near NY harbor and within the Raritan Bay ... no one would EVER refer to a ship's position as "100 miles off Elizabeth, NJ". This would be fairly non-sensical as there are other, more widely known landmarks closer to the open sea.

I would like to express my appreciation to the authors for the information provided here. It has been quite helpful in piecing together the events of 7 Aug 1943 and U-566. My uncle was shot down in one of the Ventura aircraft that pursued U-566 after the sinking of the USS Plymouth.

I hope my comments contribute to the accuracy of this article. Thank you.
