I had a similar encounter this evening, on my way home from the North Channel, with only two eels left in fore tubes, in Octobrer 1939. I was south to Fãröer Islands when my lookouts reported warships. Submerged to PD since it was in broad daylight, then I made a run (NWN) to try anyway to intercept a task force with Southampton and another big thind that I couldn't identify. I gave un when they passed the 000 bearing, turned away and left some distance before surfacing to send a Fũhlungsmeldung (just for immersion...), which I had to give up as well since I had to dive immediately for a plane.
Quite frustrating indeed...
Have yu finally got them?
