Back after third patrol. Patrolling AM29 didn't get into any convoys, but got a Taskforce contact, intercepted and clocked nine escorts, two Southamton class, three battleships, and a carrier. Could only get in a position for a long-range shot on one of the Southampton classes, but struck him and he listed to aft. Was quite surprised only one escort came looking for me.

After a couple of hours HMS Birmingham went under.

Few days later picked up an escort West of Ireland, two Black Swan escorts and a pathetic little submarine. Two escorts were taken out early doors, and after another couple of hours in amongst the escort, eight more merchants. Convoy completely decimated.

57,000 tonnes.
