Bulldog's crew stripped U-110 of everything portable on the spot, including her secret documents and Enigma cipher machine. U-110 was taken in tow back toward England, but to ensure that the Germans would not learn that she had been captured and change the cipher system, the Admiralty send orders that the boat be scuttled. |

U-110 was taken in tow back toward England, but to ensure that the Germans would not learn that she had been captured and change the cipher system, the Admiralty send orders that the boat be scuttled at sea. The movie "U-571" was partially inspired by the capture of U-110. |
