Good for the USCG for taking it to the Nazi's on this sub. The Icarus, a 165-foot USCG Cutter, depth charged it until it surfaced. Once it surfaced, they noticed the crew coming out of the conning tower so they opened up on them with the heavy machine guns. They Icarus left the scene and came back an hour later to rescue the 33 that survived. Can't imagine how gnarly things got right off the cost of NC during WWII.

Steering Committee here! A few points to note for this type of video, Shawn. Point 1: personally, I really enjoy documentaries and this had that kind of a vibe to it. Point 2: anything that shows a shark is OK by me. Point 3: I really enjoy your style of videos. You are interesting to listen to and have calm, peaceful attitude about you. Point 4: when are you putting up another dive video? This one was really interesting. 😊 PS...I only found out recently that Moray Eels have a secondary jaw inside their mouth/thoat and I thought that was awesome and scary at the same time. Beautiful creatures too.
