Planetluvver	Reuben James - Sunk October 31, 1941 (47)	RE: Reuben James - Sunk October 31, 1941	12 Oct 22
Perhaps this should be a new thread, but I added here instead because there is already so much info here (which I don't have time to read, unfortunately.) This song was sung at Monday's Zoom song circle. My understanding of the discussion was that the U-Boat which sunk the Reuben James is the U-505 which was captured and now resides in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. This isn't true. The Reuben James was sunk by U-552. According to Wikipedia, U-505 first patrol was in 1942. However, she was undergoing training exercises in 1941. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-505 This article states that it was actually U-552 which sank the USS Reuben James. https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/sinking-the-uss-reuben-james/ I apologize if I misunderstood the discussion on Monday.
