I made contact with an unescorted armed merchant convoy, at the juntion of 13w 53e there were 12 ships in the convoy. I only had 2 torps left , sunk 1 damaged a 2nd it was dead in the water. I was going to wait until the other had left suface behind the damaged merchant and sink her, I ran the clock forward 1 - 2 days had passed and the other were sailing in circles coming back to the damaged ship. I was about 100mts off it but with Pscope up at least 1 of the other ships would try to ram me. 2nd day in with my Pscope up 7 planes came over they were in a straight line and 1 after the other came in for an attack, I don't know if they seen my scope but several shots hit the damaged ship.

With Co2 very high I sailed away until I was out of there sight, I stayed back just out of sight of these Merchants and for a week I sat there watching these ships sail away and back again to the merchant that was dead in there water. Every 4 hour of that week I sent a report, the icon with the envolpe and the icon of the ship I could send both and I did. After a week of sitting there watching this dance, no other uboats turned up.

I set sail back to port.
