What If the mine came in contact with Britannic but failed to cause enough damage to sink It and U-73 noticed and torpedoed It with the help of U-72.

More than unlikely.
>>and U-73 noticed and torpedoed It with the help of U-72.<<
100% unimpossible. And if I remember right U 72 was operating around Italy, in the Thyrrhenian Sea (Genova, Sicily)in November 1916.

Some threads are just too preposterous to leave open. This is one of those.

First of all, it's against the law of war to torpedo a hospital ship. No submarine was there when the Britannic struck the mine. Even if U-73 was there, it couldn't tell the damage. And why would they want to torpedo the ship after it already struck a mine!? You know how they felt with Lusitania. Well, I'm out.

As my last message suggests, this thread was locked almost seven years ago, but that action apparently didn't carry over to the new software a couple of years back. It is now locked again.
