This article claims that U-110, the U-boat which sanks Naylor's Q-ship Penshurst, "was probably sunk by a British patrol boat the following day" (meaning 25 December 1917, the day after she sank Penshurst), citing Chatterton's 1922 book on Q-ships. But the SM U-110 article claims that U-110 was not sunk until 15 March 1918, citing a 1997 book by Paul Kemp, but without a page number. Obviously one of these is wrong. I'm inclined to believe the more definite report from a much more recent source, but its citation is poor. Could somebody clear this up? -- Colin Douglas Howell ( talk) 00:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
