Hahahaha!!!! Another career down.
Kapitan Leutnant Johann Konig of U-51 thought it would be a good idea on his first patrol to take a peek into Scapa Flow and try and score some heavy tonnage.
With 6 destroyers circling and playing some cat and mouse, U-51 was eventually sunk by a critical depth charge attack. Suffering heavy damage, Kapitan Konig surfaced U-51 in the face of 6 destroyers where she was promptly blown out of the water.
Note: This was a very strange experience for me. After those critical depth charges blew, everything went. My deck gun was destroyed, my flak gun was destroyed, my batteries despite having full power in the cells all went dead and my engines stopped working. Also, I must have suffered a puncture in the diesel fuel tanks because my chief engineer reported that we were out of diesel fuel. HAHAHAHA, ohhhh what a cracker that was. There was something satisfying about seeing my own U-boat blasted to high heavens by the Royal Navy's very best :rock:
