Where was the USS Reuben James attacked by a U-Boat and sunk?
On October 31, 1941 the USS Reuben James was attacked by U-552 somewhere in the Atlantic. She was the first US Navy ship to be sunk in WW2. I would like to know where (latitude,longitude) the attack and sinking took place.

• Nice one. Thanks for the answer ;).
I discovered the uboat.net entry a little after I asked. But thanks for the effort anyway.

To find detailed information about the sinking, you needed to know it was Erich Topp who was Kapitan. Here is a site about him: http://uboat.net/men/topp.htm
