		Fate: Sank after the destroyer USS Borie depth-charged, rammed, and struck her by gunfire north of the Azores, 1 November 1943.
		Boarding parties from destroyer USS Pillsbury and later the light aircraft carrier USS Guadalcanal kept the U-boat afloat, and it was eventually towed to Bermuda.
		The positive identification of her remains about 60 miles east of the New Jersey coast indicates she never received the change in orders diverting her to the Gibraltar approaches and was possibly sunk by one of her own acoustic torpedoes.

	USS Ward (APD-16, ex DD-139), converted Wickes-class flush-deck destroyer
		For the remainder of the year, the venerable destroyer continued her routine district patrols and—for a time—anything that moved beneath the waters was fair game.
		But as newer and more modern destroyers began joining the fleet, as well as built-for-the purpose sub-chasing craft, some of the old “flush-decked, four-pipers” began to be assigned to other duties: tending seaplanes, laying or sweeping mines, or—for a newer innovation in modern warfare—carrying fully equipped troops for assault landings as fast transports.
		Destroyer bombardment ceased at 0717; and, one minute later, the landing craft approaching the beach strafed the beach-front jungle with machine guns and automatic weapons fire.

	CB200: Irreducible complexity
		Some biochemical systems are irreducibly complex, meaning that the removal of any one part of the system destroys the system's function.
		In spite of the complexity of Behe's protein transport example, there are other proteins for which no transport is necessary (see Ussery 1999 for references).
		The immune system example that Behe includes is not irreducibly complex because the antibodies that mark invading cells for destruction might themselves hinder the function of those cells, allowing the system to function (albeit not as well) without the destroyer molecules of the complement system.
