MINELAYING IN THE BIGHT
Oct-Dec. 1915
Beyond the reach of our surface vessels, and to keep up a more permanent watch on the enemy, our submarines were from time to time stationed in the Bight and the Skagerrak. Their objective was the enemy's trade and minelayers, and sometimes submarines and destroyers whose presence had been reported in the entrance to the Baltic. Yet nothing was met with until, on December 22, E 16 sank a German naval auxiliary vessel, but against this success four days later E 6 on her way to the Bight, was lost with all hands on a mine laid by UC 5 near the Sunk light vessel.

Good hunting
