S-Class Subs
 
Hi all.

I have just started a new career in 1939 with a Type II Boat -U-1.
I'm on my third patrol and have come across an S-Class British submarine.
Is there any value (as far as renown is concerned) to sinking this vessel??
It is only 700+ tonnes so dont fancy wasting one of my five precious torps!!

Should I bother??

By the way, does my boat - U-1 have any significance at all??? (like the famous U-571 etc)???

Just ignore it, and go for much bigger targets. As for your U-boat No., not sure if it has any real significance.

Thanks papa_smurf. Didnt think it would be worth it.

I just thought with my boat having the name U-1 that it may have been "special"!

Ha Ha.

Turns out that its just ME thats "special" huh?? :lol:

Thanks for the input and the welcome Hanomag.

Much appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the advice.:up:

Just found out that my boat U-1 was lost on 6th April 1940. She never sunk or damaged a single enemy vessel! Great huh!!
