Description |
English: HMS STARLING at Greenock, 24 March 1943. HMS STARLING, leader of a group of British sloops which have just added two more victims to their impressive record of U-boats destroyed. During a North Atlantic patrol the first U-boat was illuminated by a starshell fired by HMS KITE NW of the Azores. After forcing her down by depth charges the KITE, WOODCOCK, AND STARLING shadowed the enemy until morning. At dawn HMS WOODCOCK dropped another pattern of depth charges, explosions were heard and the surface of the water littered with tell-tale oil and wreckage. Within 8 hours the second U-boat met her fate . She was detected by HMS wild goose and HMS STARLING delivered the coup de grace. (Text from early 1944). |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
