New merchant contact, heading in to investigate
Time:15:47
85 tone Coastal Boat, going to leave it alone, 'bigger fish to fry'
Time:15:50
2 new contacts, Warships! They haven't seen me yet, going to try to outrun them
Time:15:57
Coastal boat must have reported my position, their heading straight for me, Battle Stations!
Time:16:02
Preparing to dive to 35m.
Time:16:03
diving, to late! Warships are firing on me!

Time:16:04
Hull down to 95%, heavy flooding, managed to send a last report to the Bdu in hopes they help.. Radio room damaged, 45% flooding
Time:16:15
up to 76%,Conning tower at 32% Pressure hull, sinking at 1m/sec
Time:16:25
down to 96m, sinking fast, 65-75 degree angle, flooding out of control, losing power..
Time:16:45
I managed to use Emergency back to pull her(U-660) back up to 35m, but have to go up and down to try and avoid surfacing or being pinged, Warships roughly 350m away, looking for me..
Time:17:00
What is that? Do i hear an airplane engine? Does Poland even have an airforce? Nav. tells me there is no local air base..

Time:17:01
I surfaced just for a moment, they are German Ju-87 G-2s, 4-8 of them! Bdu must have sent them to save us!
Time:17:03
Heavy gunfire followed by a large explosion...
Time:17:04
They've saved us!


(Later on at around 17:06 they bombed the second Warship that you can see in the background, i later surfaced and sent a report to thank them and the Bdu, and after doing a fly-by over my ship, they circled around and went back towards the nearest airbase)

(P.S, I would like to thank (primarily) OH II and IRAI and also R.S.D for making this kind of encounter possible!)

Date: September 4,1939
Time:19:30
Location:Poland
Ship:U-660
Log_2:
After attacking Danzig; sinking 1 Aux. Cruiser (Armed Merchant) for 7700 Tones, 1 Ranger Medium Tanker for (300-3500) tones, and one Liberty Cargo for 7600 Tones, i decided to make a quick attack run on Gotenhafen before going to my new Center of Operations, Kiel.
Time:19:37
I am 5000m outside Gotenhafen, all crews to battle stations and perpare to sink some ships!
Time:19:38
Another Aux. Cruiser, it's in port so it shouldn't fire on us (side note: we are in it's range by now right?)
Time:19:39
Aux Cruiser is firing upon us! Load HE shells and return fire!
Time:19:40
Their guns are too big! dive to 13m and radio for backup!
Time:19:42
Since I'm not sure if help is coming, we can try to creep closer to her and fire some torpedoes..
Time:19:43
Huge contact on the hydro! At least 40% larger than a Escort! What the heck could this be?

Time:19:45
Bdu once again has come through! It's a German Capital Ship! (feeling special right now )
Type: Admiral Hipper-Class Heavy Cruiser (The Original Admiral Hipper, a total of 3 saw service (Admiral Hipper, Blucher, and Prinz Eugen) )

Time:19:46
That Aux. 'Cruiser' didn't stand a chance (nor the other ship in the background)
This Port is now officially under German control!


Time:19:48
After thanking the Admiral Hipper, I set course to Kiel, watching the Admiral Hipper slowly move in to Germany's new port .

Close-up of the other ship (type unconfirmed) in the background of the burning Aux. Cruiser:
(This was after only 1 salvo from the Admiral Hipper's 4 20.3 cm guns!)

Date:September 19,1939 heligoland
Time:9:20
Location:Germany
Log_3:
Just refitted at Heligoland, time to move on to Eastern Britain!
Time:9:23
A Type 34 Destroyer just broke off of defense pattern.. Perhaps there is trouble?
Time:9:26
No trouble.. The destroyer seems to be following me? I haven't requested any support?
Time: 9:30
The destroyer is certainly following me! What is with the Bdu and protecting me? ah well, not going to deny it following me, set speed to ahead half (as not to outrun her! )
Perhaps we can give the escort a name, whether the crew of that escort will be happy with said name is another story.. :P

As you can see, she's been following me for quite some time..
This escort has some very nice (9in?) gun
Hopefully she'll stick around.. (could always use some help with them darned airplanes..)
