Scheisse
We were patrolling CF14 -- got radio traffic of a convoy CF59
so broke from our patrol to go looky.
I vector in so I am ahead of the convoy as normal and if i remain at 25 meters for while listenning to the approaching noise on hydrophone -- patiently waiting for the engine noise to be all around us-- Waiting for the right moment to pop up in the middle of the convoy and give it to the convoy from both ends of my XIB.
Turns out it was a task force and I came up to periscope depth 150 meters from a Huge destroyer -- I didnt check which, looked like a king george V, I just went into a flat panic -- i was already getting their deck guns.
I focused on the Hunt II Destroyer was just behind me and closing fast - tried to get off torps from my rear -- they just bounced off its hull as i was only able to fire when it was 290 meters away.
Both periscopes smashed in a few seconds as I try to crashdive, hearing the hull of the Hunt II ride over the coning tower-- then as a courtesy measure, i'm depthcharged to pieces
arrrrgh 1943 -- will I ever make it to 1945
