Talk:USS Herring

Discrepancy
The USS Herring is described here as having sunk the German submarine U-163, but www.uboat.net reports that U-163 was sunk by the Canadian corvette HMCS Prescott.

Wikipedia's page for the Flower class corvette also states that U-163 was sunk by the Prescott.

 * This is discussed in Navy Department Communiqué No. 549, October 23, 1944, which is quoted at USS HERRING (SS-233) -- Battleship Park, Mobile AL - Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com. "The Alden-McDonald score does not include the German submarine U-163, which is usually credited to the Herring; their analysis shows that the U-Boat was operating in a different area and was sunk instead by the Royal Canadian Navy corvette HMCS Prescott on March 13, 1943."
