Rescuing Survivors of Torpedoed Liberty Ship
The convoy has five ships hit by torpedos during the next couple of days. The USS Champlin picks up survivors from the SS Molly Pitcher, a Liberty ship that was torpedoed and damaged by German U-boat U-167 about 500 nautical miles west of Lisbon. The Molly Pitcher was abandoned and finally sunk the next day by German U-boat U-521.
