Hospital ships: Have you ever been tempted...
 

I know that you're penalized BIG TIME for sinking them but have you ever had such a rotten patrol that you're tempted to take out your frustrations on the first hospital ship that dares to cross your path?
On my last patrol with U-69 I came across 2 convoys but managed to get myself noticed by the escorts both times!:damn: :damn: After being depth charged for what seemed like forever I escaped with some minor & easily repairable damage. Cruised around AM 51-52 for a few days but only managed to sink a 1215 ton coastal tanker. While I was cursing my sh*tty luck one overcast & very gloomy night; what do I see in the distance but a Red Cross Hospital ship all lit up so prettily, like a Christmas tree. I very briefly considered attacking but let her pass unmolested. They never knew how close they came to becoming just another heap of scrap metal, rusting on the ocean floor. Let this be a warning to all masters of Red Cross ships: steer well clear of my boat because you never know when I'll be in a very bad mood...:D

Sinking a hospital ship can give to the enemy a very hight strike in this moral...but all so to the U-Boat Commander will be regret of this action...specialy in his renow and all so can say good bye to the XXI type! :know:

Sinking a hospital ship does not fix grumpiness.:roll:

True, mate... :up:

True. A good weekend, however, does. :up:

Who gives a toss. Sink the swine I say. :arrgh!:

Surfaced and fired 30 shells at a hospital ship just to annoy 'em.

I just saw one on this patrol, in fact, it was the only ship I have seen. Frustrating at times, but she got safe passage from me. Puts

Sinking hospital ships is bad juju. Personally I never do it.:nope:

Rather go to the Eastern Front than sink a Hospital Ship!:shifty:
Well, maybe not there but desk job might be good!:rotfl:

No, never, as a soldier/pilot/sailor you should always have a place in your heart for compassion, if you want to see what I'm talking about read this;

They may not be real wounded soldiers in there but I don't have the heart to even entertain the thought.
See somebody wounded on the battlefield (friend or foe) and then ask yourself if you could sink his vessel. It may be harder than you think.
