More damage, Anson this time. Near dark, so I didn't dive thinking it might pass by. It didn't.
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/3...rdamagens6.jpg 276 Km off Freetown, a medium tanker and troop ship. Too dark to see the U.S flags until it was too late (May 41). This tour is just going from bad to worse. http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2...iummercbi8.jpg With hull integrity which must be like tissue paper by this time, I think I will head home. |
Even with the tissue paper hull, now could I resist this large convoy contact the next day.
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/6894/9mapdu6.jpg Calculated to arrive in full dark. As it turned out, wonderfully gloomy and rough. A banzai surface attack bypassing the front escort. Two large cargo went down. Heading off somewhere quiet to bring in the externals and heading home before my luck runs out. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9...spottedvc6.jpg Large cargo http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5...gecargowd1.jpg |

North of Cape Verde, meandering homewards. Tempted to make use of available resupply opportunity in the Canaries, or maybe just plod back to Lorient and make repairs.

U-49 trying to make the most of the bad weather, July 1940, about a hundred nm east of Scapa. Not ideal torpedo weather, but too many targets and a relentless storm caused patience to run low. I gave it my best shot, and had around a 75% hit rate as three C2s passed nearby within a few hours of each other.

The Canaries, Lorientwards.

Mine-laying! Yes gentleman, the light you see are the lights of the Dover Harbor!

Spotted whilst passing from the north African towards the Spanish coast. Armed large cargo.
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9...dlargecit9.jpg A pair of Ansons tried to spoil the party, nearly did. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/6...eforperae7.jpg But not quite. http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7...gecargoez8.jpg |
One less Town Class to worry about whilst stalking a convoy in the Irish Sea

Who says you can't get close to a convoy on the surface.:D
Don't know what Bernards looking at.:shifty: http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...oyApproach.jpg ...and my reward, a mere 31000 tons. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...to/Revenge.jpg |
That will teach you smart ass to sail in a straight line when I'm around. :D

Straffed by a Portuguese hurricane and bombed by a Spanish condor. About par for this trip.

Lovely, You can't beat the smell of a burning Destroyer. :D

Home, at last. Definitely a tour to forget. Decided to upgrade to a IXC.
