300 [75] The F.S. 949 was an old U-boat which would soon be destroyed. During the war she had sunk more ships than any other submarine. In one famous battle she had sunk six ships in twenty-four hours. Though on that occasion she had sunk four merchant ships and two destroyers, she was only slightly damaged. People were watching silently as the F.S. 949 now came into the harbour before she would make her last journey out to sea.
