Admiral Daniel V. Gallery boarded and captured a German U-Boat at sea in June, 1944โthe first American officer to so capture an enemy warship since 1815!
U-505 is Admiral Galleryโs own story of his extraordinary featโand also a gripping narrative of the fierce Allied war against the German U-Boat fleet.
