Type VII, U-35, 11th May 1940. AN 47
Approaching a large merchant, visibility good but not brilliant, opened up with the deck-gun and suddenly a C&D class pulls out from behind the merchant where it had been hiding and opens up on me. If I dive it'll roll DCs over me at shallow depth but if I stay on the surface it'll hammer me. I do a 180 and hit flank and throw a TII out of the rear tube out of desperation. My Watch Officer is killed by MG fire and I'm getting ready to shout for a crash dive when suddenly there's a massive fountain of water and the bow of the destroyer comes off.
Limped back to port with 50.6% Hull Integrity. For a conservative Kaleun with randomised crush depth as myself, that's a fair bit.
