I settle for 9 knots on all targets. Fire all five T's. We should hit something.

The shot on the first merchant misses, because I was too close already .. damn.

But the American is hit and begins to burn!



The ugly thing on the left is hit too!



For the last time we take a look at the flame effects.



Our last victim looks severely damaged.



Pinging?! Destroyers have headed our way. Jetzt kommt die Abrechnung Männer

We must dive.



I order a dive, to no avail. Waterbombs. We are hit again.

Who thought that could be so quick.






Everything goes kaputt again.



Ouch I got boiled by water .. I can't take it any more!!



While my crew begins frantic repairs, I am at my wits end.

I take position in the only safe station on the boat, the captains bed. Nothing bad can happen to me here.



I take a nap and dream of a beautiful meadow and Marika Röck's legs. When the Chief yells something to me I yell back at him 'let me sleep, can't you see how tired I am!'.

Then I wake up, hopeful to hear the damage has been repaired.

Has it? NO! We are at 190 meters, and the flooding can not be stopped.

All that's below us is a thousand meters of water.



This is like Hitchcock's Marnie.



The light goes out.



Are we still alive?



"You have added another shadow into the Hall of Honor. Your Family remembers you full of pride but you fade in the annals of sea war history."



Damnit. No more boom boom for this captain-san

Conclusion. The escorts in this mod are quite uber. They were right upon us after our first attack run.
That's the second time in a row that I could not survive my first patrol. But we torpedoed two merchants, so our effort was not completely in vain.

****.
