AMERICAN U-BOATS BACK FROM THE WAR

After 15 months hunting of German U-boats in the Irish sea. the flotilla of submarines shown above returned to the League Island navy yard at Philadelphia. The AL-11 (third from left) had many desperate encounters with the enemy boats including a fight below the surface with a Hun sub, which AL-11 subsequently vanquished.
