Old Sandancer says
Just a slight correction. Barham was actually the 2nd British battleship to be sunk by a U0-Boat. HMS Royal Oak was sunk by in Scapa Flow in October 1939 by U-47 commanded by Gunther Prien.

Well, actually the Royal Oak was not sunk \"at sea\"...
Merddin says
Your comment states: This is the only British battleship sunk by the U-boat during this war. It doesn\'t specify \'at sea\' so is incorrect, as HMS Royal Oak was sunk by U 47 at Scapa Flow in 1939.
The only way the comment can be correct is if \"the U-boat\" refers to U331, as HMS Barham was certainly the only British battleship sunk by this particular U-boat during the war.
