Canadians in the Caribbean

As the German submarine offensive expanded into the Caribbean in 1942, the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) provided escorts for convoys in the Caribbean, where the corvette HMCS Oakville helped sink German submarine U-94.

Sighted, attacked and damaged by an American aircraft as it approached a convoy, U-94 subsequently came under attack from Oakville (top), which fatally damaged the submarine before sending a boarding party consisting of Sub-Lieutenant Hal Lawrence and Stoker Petty Officer Art Powell (lower right).
