Capture of the German submarine, U-505, by a Navy escort carrier task group headed by the USS Gaudalcanal (CVE-60) under the command of Captain Daniel V. Gallery, USN. Blown to the surface by a depth charge, the U-boat 505 lies with decks swash in the South Atlantic, driven into the sea by strafing and small arms fire, German crewmen struggle to keep afloat near vessel.
