Thu., 7.9.39 - West of Ireland

0209 - Qu. A L 9645 - Surfaced.

The Swordfish airplane some 550 sm from the Irish west coast can only mean one thing: There must be an enemy Aircraft Carrier operating in the area. Even though, the airplane did not drop any bombs, I must assume that I have been spotted. Having operated in the ordered patrol zone for one week, I decide therfore, to head west.

After one week in ordered PZ, no traffic found. 6.9., 2320h, Marqu. A L 9646, diving from Swordfish aircraft, suspect enemy aircraft carrier. I retire to the west. 80 cbm, 9 Eto, 5 Ato. W5, Sea4, light westerly swell, clear >1000mb, light haze, good visibility. "Gelhaar"

1200 - Qu. A L 9554 - Days Run: 149.6 sm - ↗ 135.9 sm - ↘ 13.7 sm
79 cbm. W5, Sea4, light swell from west, clear, light haze, >1000mb, good visibility
Sunrise 1125 - Sunset 0155, 8.9.39

1902 - Qu. A L 9464 - Incoming F.T.: From F.d.U.:
Boats of the 6th & 7th Flotilla ordered back to base, except for 'U.-Heinicke'. The remaining boats are distributed in groups in front of the northern entrance of the Irish Sea. All issued 'G 7 e' torpedoes have been adapted for angle shots.
