Yarnhub | When a Naked Sailor Fought a U-Boat

August 27, 1942. A deadly game of cat and mouse in the Caribbean Sea turns into one of the most chaotic boarding parties of World War II. Crippled by depth charges, the German U-Boat U-94 is forced to the surface. Its hunter, the Canadian corvette HMCS Oakville, doesn’t hesitate.

She attacks with everything she’s got - machine-guns, Coke bottles, before she rams directly into the U-Boat.

But the true chaos begins when Canadian Sub-lieutenant Hal Lawrence leads a daring boarding party onto the sinking submarine.


Lawrence executes one of the most unusual boarding actions in naval history wearing absolutely nothing but a lifejacket!

Hold onto your pants for this epic WWII true story.
