Rather than sneaking away to attack another day I tried too hard to get into a firing position and was detected.
U-1009 was depth charged to destruction on 21 June 1944 by at least four escorts. DiD can be a real b----.

Ouch. I like the mobility that the surface provides if possible. Then again, 1944, odds are heavily against anyway.
