Gun Camera Photographs

 

	Explanatory Remarks
	Pictures 1, 2 and 3 show spray developing from exploding D/Cs completely enveloping the U/B, whose wake is seen leading into the explosive area. Dark object on near side of spray is noteworthy as is the boiling effect at the end of the wake.
	Pictures 4, 5, 6, and 7 show the Torpex swirl after the spray has died down. Lieut. Roberts states that the bow of the U/B was visible at this point in the center of swirl and that the plane was firing on it with .50 caliber bursts. This is indicated by the fact that the swirl moves from the center of the picture to the left showing the gun trained on the U/B as the plane was in its turn.
	Pictures 8 and 9 show the bow of the U/B now beginning to rise above the surface.
	Picture 10, the U/B's bow is clearly visible far out of water on a steep angle.
	Picture 11, the bow is still out of the water with a slight boiling effect aft.
	Pictures 12 and 13 show boiling effect developing into a plume as the U/B settles in water stern first (cause of eruption unknown).
	Picture 14 shows torpex swirl with U/B now barely visible below the surface.
	Picture 15, the second eruption emerging higher from the center of the slick (cause unknown).
	Pictures 16, 17, 18 and 19 show the U/B again resurfaced but apparently down by the stern.
