マタパン岬
In mid-July, "UB-45"s first success occurred when in three days she sank two steamers. The first, "Virginia", was sunk on the 16th while carrying salt destined for Calcutta. Two men on board the 4,279-ton British ship were lost when she went down off Cape Matapan. Two days later, the French ship "Ville de Rouen" was sunk southwest of Cape Matapan. The 4,721-ton "Ville de Rouen" would be "UB-45"s largest victim.
