At 07.49 hours on 15 Jul, 1942, the unescorted Pennsylvania Sun (Master Frederick Lyall) was hit by one torpedo from U-571 about 125 miles west of Key West, while steaming on a zigzag course at 14 knots. The torpedo struck amidships on the port side between the 5 and 6 tanks and blew away the port wing of the bridge, killed the quartermaster and a seaman and ignited the cargo. The master steered for five minutes southeast at full speed and then ordered the engines stopped, while a distress signal was sent and confirmed. The survivors among the nine officers, 33 crewmen and 17 armed guards (the ship was armed with one 5in, one 3in, four 20mm and two .30cal guns) on board abandoned ship in three lifeboats, rowed away and put out sea anchors to wait for a rescue vessel. They were picked up by USS Dahlgren (DD 187) after three and one-half hours and taken to Key West the same day.
The next evening, the master, three officers and the crew of USS Willet (ARS 12) returned to the Pennsylvania Sun, when a patrol aircraft reported that the fire had abated. They extinguished the flames and towed her to Key West, where temporary repairs were made. The tanker steamed under own power with her crew to Chester, Pennsylvania and returned to service after the permanent repairs were completed,
German Submarine, U-571
On 22 May 1941, the type VIIC German submarine U-571 was commissioned under the command of Kapitänleutnant (English equivalent Lieutenant) Helmut Möhlmann. Under his command U-571 had nine successful patrols in the Arctic, and the North and Central Atlantic. In August and September 1941, U-571 operated against Allied and Soviet forces sinking the Soviet passenger vessel Marija Uljanova on 26 August.
In 1942, U-571 operated off East Coast of the U.S. sinking the British freighter Hertford on 29 March, the Norwegian tanker Koll on 6 April off Cape Hatteras, and the American freighter Margaret on 14 April after the ship left San Juan, Puerto Rico. Unfortunately although U-571's log mentions that some of the 8 officers and 21 men managed to get into a lifeboat and onto rafts, none of Margaret's crew were ever seen again. In July 1942 the submarine operated in the Caribbean and torpedoed four ships; the British freighter Umtata on 7 July, the American tanker, SS J. A. Moffet on 8 July, the Honduran freighter Nicholas Cuneo on 9 July and on 15 July the American tanker, SS Pennsylvania Sun. The whole crew of J. A. Moffet (35 merchant marine and 5 Naval Armed Guard) abandoned ship into two lifeboats and three rafts, except for the master who was killed. The Coast Guard vessels Mary Jean and Southbound picked up the 39 survivors and brought them to Florida. When SS Pennsylvania Sun was torpedoed, two of the merchant crew died in the resulting explosion, but the rest of the 40 merchant marine crew and the 17 members of the Naval Armed Guard survived after being rescued by USS Dahlgren (DD-187). Pennsylvania Sun was later salvaged and returned to service, while the other three ships attacked in July were sunk. In April 1943, Möhlmann claimed that he sank three additional ships but these could not be matched with records of Allied losses.
After Oberleutnant zur See (English equivalent Lieutenant Junior Grade) Gustov Lüssow took command on 2 May 1943, U-571 patrolled off the west coast of Africa in July 1943 before returning to base on 1 September 1943. Between September and December, U-571 was probably being overhauled in a drydock as no mention of the boat for that time period appears in war diary kept by the German Commander in Chief, Submarines, Admiral Doenitz. On 18 January 1944, Lüssow reported to his submarine command that he attacked and sank on unknown destroyer, however this could not be verified to any known Allied losses during World War II. On 28 January 1944 in the North Atlantic, U-571 sank on its eleventh war patrol after fighting on the surface with an Australian Sunderland aircraft from RAAF 461 Squadron. The aircraft pilot noted that most of the crew got into the water, but froze in the cold water. U-571 is listed as sinking with all hands at 52.41N; 14.27W.
