Sinking of the USS President Lincoln-- Part 7: USS Warrington and Smith Rescued the Survivors

The U-90 remained around the stricken Americans for two hours, then left and then returned again.

The USS Warrington (DD-30) found them, then the destroyer USS Smith (DD-17) came to assist..

Losses were 3 officers and 23 men.

They returned to Brest, France on June 1.  Along the way another submarine was spotted by the Smith and 22 depth charges were dropped but nothing was hit.  Isaacs (Izak) later reported that it had been the U-90 and that they had narrowly escaped.

When they arrived at Brest, the President Lincoln's sister ship, the USS President Grant was there and it sailed a few days later.
