Update from U-53, 21.00, 27th Nov 1939.

Came across a large enemy convoy in grid AM97, managed to sink 2 Large Tankers for 10333GRT each, a Large Old Cargo for 8228 and a Large Freighter for 8605. One large steamer burning and making west at 1 knot, bow very low in water, will come back for her if she does not sink within the next couple of hours. Convoy escorted by 3 destroyers, only 2 began attack on U-53, with 1 rejoining the convoy after about an hour. Taken light damage and flooding to forward sections but repairs are underway and all is in hand. Am making for the front of the convoy to continue attack, 3 torpedo's left, experienced 1 dud G7a torpedo during initial attack, all others fine.

Crew has perked up somewhat....
