Type II's have a punch continued
Again U-8 makes way towards grid AN 51 and everybody is in the lookout for ships.
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/3921/lookout.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us A tramp steamer is spotted later in the afternoon. Weather is perfect. From periscope depth, U-8 fires two torpedoes, 1 Magnetic pistol, 1 Impact, just to make sure. Type II's dont have a deck gun so no easy "coup de grace" in case she's a tough nut http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/975/impactm.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us Hydrophones spot another merchant. Plotted course, brought boat at a 90 degrees at 800m BUT she's NORWEGIAN a freaking neutral. My trigger happy WO urges me to shoot as she is blackened and just 30 miles of the East coast of England, but I my conscious prevails and we let her go. http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/3585/neutrals.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us Watch Officer is fuming and to let some steam off, he orders Bernard to sweep the floor of the engine rooms with a toothbrush. Thankfully 2 hours later the next contact is not a neutral. Its a Polish Large Merchant heading towards Hartlepool. WO forgets all about bernard and insists he calculates the solution. I agree. Two torpedoes did the trick once again. WO insists we surface so he can sing his lucky rodeo tune to celebrate the success. I oblige http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3429/polishlarg.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us With 1 torpedo in the tubes we make way towards Kiel. Plan is to arrive on Christmas day. And YES we make it. Docking at Kiel on Christmas day! Ah these are happy times. Even the seagulls on the right seems to be walzing http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/5673/homeport.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Today I had an cool experience when refitting from U-461.
First I met an other u boat that just had refitted from U-461 :) http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...tti_95/SH3.jpg At midnight I reported my position to BDU. My plan was to wait for the morning and then search after U-461. But around eight o'clock in the morning it was U-461 that came to me :sunny: http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...ti_95/SH32.jpg http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/..._95/SH33-1.jpg |

I love bad weather! No one can see you :ping:
Looks like those PT boats have the same problem as us - inadvertent diving in strong winds! Good shots everyone :|\\ |
