Damage to HMCS Assiniboine
Damage to HMCS Assiniboine

This photograph, taken upon Assiniboine's arrival in St. John's, Newfoundland, shows some of the damage the destroyer sustained during the prolonged gun duel with the German submarine U-210.

Fire damage is the most obvious, but several of Assiniboine's crew stationed in this area were wounded, mainly by gunfire. During the battle, the destroyer's commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander John H. Stubbs, was able to continue to direct the action from the ship's open bridge (top right).
