Editing German submarine U-155 (1941) (section)

==Third patrol==

''U-155''{{'}}s third and most successful foray was conducted in similar waters to her second effort, beginning in Lorient on 9 July. She sank ''Barbacena'' with torpedoes east of [[Barbados]], but others, such as ''Piave'', went to the bottom with the more economic [[deck gun]]. Another victim, ''Cranford'', met her end within three minutes. Part of her cargo was 6,600 tons of chrome ore. Two injured survivors were treated on ''U-155'' before water, supplies and directions were handed over to their colleagues.

The submarine's skipper apologized for sinking one ship (''Empire Arnold'' on 4 August), to the Chief Officer, who told him it was a bad business and wished it [the war] was over. Piening replied: "So do I".

''Maschinengefreiter'' Konrad Garneier was lost overboard during an air attack on 19 August.

In all, the boat sank ten ships, a total of 43,514 GRT.
