Well said Ju88! Sometimes when there are three escorts attacking me as I try to creep away, I think what a great time it would be for another boat to attack.

New thought. Wouldn't it be awesome to stumble on one of those rare ocassions where you come across a convoy, only to notice that all the escorts are well aft, bombing the bejeebers out of another u-boat?

Depending on the ship, as few as 12 or as many as 36 early war, and up to 120 later.
