Nov 1942, SE of Sicily. U-371
Encountered a small, 3 ship convoy, escorted by one DD and frigate. I sank 2 ships. It turned out that the escorts are much better than usual. No matter what I did, I couldn't get rid of them. After 2 hours of playing cat and mouse 240m bellow, I was desperate enough to try to go even deeper, down to the very limit. I found the limit at 288m

, and lost the escorts along the way. The boat sustained some pressure damage, but nothing serious.

After that I attack another small convoy and sank both ships (troop ship and landing ship tank). The next day I sank another, larger, troop ship escorted by three destroyers.

So far we bagged 44,000t, and the patrol continues, with three eels still left.
