>Jan-Olof: compare the position of Derrymore and the date with the date and position given by Rohwer for the Coldbrook. What do you see?
Yes, the positions only differ by one digit (but a large distance). I'm believe that the I-25/Coldbrook incident should be removed. It's certain that I-25 did not sink the Derrymore. She didn't operate in the Java Sea at this time.
btw Empire Statesman seems to have been a straggler from convoy SLS.56. This convoy departed Freetown on Nov 19, 1940.
