U-207 patrol 1. Patrol 9 for crew.
Having transferred to a new boat the crew and I have made our first contact and sinking. It was early in the morning 3 days out of port when we came across a lone Grainville merchant making his way south towards neutral Spain. Assuming he was headed to Gibraltar we got his course and speed and headed off ahead.
Attack results. 1 TII torpedo expended and around 10 rounds of HE shells from our deck gun for 1 Grainville. Not too bad. Currently stalking a Southwest bound convoy approxmiately 3 grid spaces from sunk merchant. Weathers pretty rough up top and escorts look relatively green. And smack in the middle is 3 tankers. I have to get this one.
