CGC Spencer vs. U-175, 1943
Official Caption: "NO MORE RAIDS FOR THESE U-BOAT CREWMEN: These deflated German seamen will make no more forays on the North Atlantic ship lanes. Lucky to slide out of the escape hatch as their sub was shattered and sunk by depth charges from a Coast Guard combat cutter, 41 of the Nazis were fished out of the sea to become prisoners of war on two Coast Guard cutters."
