your more than welcome, thankyou...

http://www.naval-history.net/WW2BritishLossesbyArea01.htm saw this, and thought it might be of interest...

 

uboat.net - The U-boat Wars 1939-1945 and 1914-1918 and Allied Warships of WWII has exactly what you are looking for.

First, you will need the grid map for you reference here uboat.net - The U-boat War in Maps

Then open this Ships hit by U-boats in World War Two (WWII) - uboat.net in a new tab.

Finally use the Grid "drop down box to enter the grid you want.

Presto, you get a list of ship sinkings in the grid, and a map showing the locations of sinkings. Just click on the link in the "Name of Ship" column for more information on the ship.

 

Takao, for my personal experience, is a good idea start a expedient for each ship that you be discovered. In this manner, you, searching for merchant ships, warship or U-Boot, you possibly reach the diferent points of view of the same matter. And periodically repeat the search. In more ocassions, you will read amazing pages of a relatives of the shipcrews.

Ahhhh! And don't hesitate in put in contact with the webmasters, joining and participate in Forums. Internet is a huge threasure....don't forget it.
