also there was always the opportunity to scoop up what had fallen off the back of a freighter after it had been blasted by the deck gun, i saw a documentary on the history channel where a uboat crew collected various crates of Gin, tinned ham and corned beef, not a bad catch in the middle of an atlantic winter, certainly make life a bit more bearable at 100 meters with the gramaphone on, a few Gins and a tonne of corned beef sarnies.....pure bliss i bet!
