The Action of November 17, 1917 was a naval battle fought between a German submarine and two United States Navy destroyers in the North Atlantic Ocean. The USS Fanning and USS Nicholson's sinking of U-58 was one of only a few engagements of World War I in which Navy warships sank an enemy submarine, and the first time ships sank a submarine in combat.
