This is a provisional anecdote about Royal Canadian Navy sailors from a Flower-class corvette boarding a German submarine. Some of the men reportedly came straight from the showers and jumped onto the U-boat as it tried to submerge before forcing their way into the conning tower. The startled German crew reportedly did not fire, and the Canadians secured the boat. The submarine's identity and other details were still under investigation. The passage therefore combines an extraordinary account of improvised close action with an explicit source-criticism warning.
