Best target you HAVEN'T attacked?
 

Late 1939, in a VIIB, found myself on the surface in the middle of a convoy northwest of Ireland, at night, in terrible weather (~1000m visibility or less, driving rain) and fired my last three fish at a large merchie and a small tanker, for two hits. (Sunk the merchant)

As I crash dived, I nudged the observation scope just above the shears, and saw HMS Rodney plodding along not 750m from me, bearing 220 or so.

I like to think the only reason the escorts caught a whiff of me as I was getting away, was the sound of my forehead repeatedly hitting the bulkhead... :damn:



Then as I was headed home from my last patrol in December 1940, in my shiny new VIIC with ONE torpedo left, I find a 40+ ship convoy... Perfect weather, dead-calm seastate... I decided that tangling with the escorts wasn't worth it with only one torp to throw at them. :dead:

Two days from St. Nazaire, I put it into the boiler room of a lone Large Cargo ship, but she had a pretty serious-looking pair of deck guns on elevated mounts, which precluded a surface coup-de-grace. Shame.

Ocean Liner. SO FAST :cry:

Them Seagulls with my AA guns, damn them birds can move!!!! :lol:

Big, fast liner. Maybe i would have caught her, if the escorts from nearby convoy didn't held me below for several hours. :roll:

LOL :lol:

large Ocean Liners
 

:o :o But ,but ,but, isn't those liners neutrals:o :o :o

shame on you:stare: :rotfl:

15+ ship convoy, 2 escorts - 2 torpedoes left in the aft tube!:damn:

One time I spotted a fast-moving ocean liner just east of Ireland. I was all out of torpedoes and had 10 or 15 deck gun rounds left. After I spent those I let her have all my AA ammo, but to no avail...

That'd have to be an Auxiliary Cruiser, I've repeatedly seen those in Convoys where I'd already lined up on the lead ships and was in no position to take out a fat 10k+ ship :nope:

It would be Aquitania by VonDos,just caught a glimpse of it in the fog shifting at an incredible speed http://smilies.vidahost.com/cwm/cwm/eek5.gif Not a chance of doing anything http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/edoom/sad2.gif

An Illustrious-class that appeared as I was leaving periscope depth for the deep. I had 7 angry DD's circling me...I survived for quite some time but ultimately that was the end of my last career.

Almost ran into an Illustrious class ship west of the Orkneys in terrible weather. She was so close I couldn't line up a shot before I lost sight of her again. :damn:

Ocean Liners or Troop Transports. 18kt meaning no submerged attack possible at long range, 3 desk guns or more means no surface attack

This one
 

:o I have never seen the famous " Royal Oak ":damn:

After I have been sinking those :

* HMS Nelson.
* HMS Hood .
* HMS Implacable (Illustrious class )
* HMS King George IV
* Large Troopship
* A. Cruisers . Etc ,etc :smug: :smug:

I been looking forward to meet the famous " Royal Oak " .
Honestly , I sink that one:yep:

The boat of my stepmother.

:rotfl:
