At the time I was trying to get into a better position to attack the few Brits hiding inside the convoy. All the ones I saw at first on the outside were Swedish and Norwegian. With the destroyer coming, I dove to 90m and set my speed to 1kt. He had trouble finding me at first. Eventually he did some damage to my stern and propellers. We sank to 124m before we could come up again. The DC's lasted for about 2.5 hours before I could get out of there. Now I'm on my way to Helo-something to get repairs. I'm in a IID.
If you're going to Helgoland, be careful. I'm told the Tommies dropped mines in that vicinity soon after the war started.
