U-575 diorama
The U-575 has been inserted into the diorama base, it is being worked into the base, using Mod Podge. The base of the depth bomb splash has also been started. This was dropped from the TBM Avenger being built. There will be numerous other smaller 3" shell and 20 mm splashes depicted as well. The U-575 was being bombed and strafed by aircraft and shot at by no less than 3 ships at this time after it surfaced due to damage from a destroyer escort depth charge attack. The crew was abandoning ship during this time and numerous crewmen were mortally wounded. Since the sub had fought back with intense anti aircraft fire earlier in the day when it was attacked by British Wellington and B-17 bombers I think the hunter killer group was taking a shoot now ask questions later stance.
