What sank the cruiser submarine Surcouf?

A B-24 report is one candidate in Surcouf's unresolved loss, alongside a destroyer collision or another accident.

Question

Did a B-24 sink Surcouf after reporting a large submarine in the same area?

Short answer

Possibly, but the evidence is inconclusive; a destroyer collision or another accident also remains plausible.

Notes

The submarine disappeared without evidence strong enough to establish a single explanation. The aircraft report, possible destroyer involvement, and accidental loss remain competing theories, so the answer preserves the uncertainty rather than choosing one.
