"U-25 participated in five war patrols, sinking eight enemy ships and badly damaging one."
I have deleted the word "enemy" in this sentence, which features in para 2; as according to the table, four of the nine ships mentioned, belonged in January and February 1940, to neutral countries (Norway, Dennmark and Sweden). RASAM ( talk) 14:33, 25 March 2012 (UTC) reply
