I was running in a VIIC and making a convoy attack once. They cought me on the way out. Sucessful attack, two sunk one cripled to be finished after the evaiding. Not sure how they cought me, prbly breached the surfus with the bridge while runing at parascope depth, dumb move on my part with as bad as the weather was. A passing distroyer light me up with flood lights, flack guns and cut loose with the deck guns. I only relised I was under attack when MG rounds were pinging off the hull.

All the suden the boat starts to shake and there was an explosion. I was hit by a deck gun shell, right into the bridge when it breached again. So it was crash dive and nuckling as fast as I could. By the time I was down around 50m there were distoyers on station ready to depth charge me into oblivion. The first two runs missed and I thought I was home free. I get report of "vaserbombs" from the sound man and braced, we had just changed directions so I thought it was all safe. I was wrong I found out when the first one explodes tearing my forward tube room a new one. The second charge struck just aft of that and opened up my crew quartars and removed my deck gun.

We were nose down and coming up on 100m. I decided that flooding was too bad to not adress it so I set the crew to work and kept up my evasive manuvers in hopes I can dodge enuf that the sound wouln't mater and I was sucsesful for the most part. I came up on 150 and knew I had to stop going down so I threw the engins into back emergancy, a fiting setting given the situation. this slowed us down enuf that things were starting to look up. At 200m I had to blow balast and that stoped the decent and slowly started our way back up. At this point we had the flooding under control and the boat leveling out. Then they hit again and that took out the desiles, both of them perminantly, and cracked the port prop shaft. And this brought up more flooding. One more DC poped near us and took out the starbord electric. With one engin and one prop, the one not being connected to the other, we had to stop moving.

Fortunatly they seemed to have run out of ammo and left me alone. As soon as the distoyers left the area I went back to parascope depth, swivled my boat around for an aft tube shot and killed the merchant that was left behind. Without the means to get back home I had to suck it up and telaport back to port. I think that was as close as I have come to dieing in the game but managed to pull it out of the fires.
