"Loooos," Balz bellowed. The torpedo launched and ran true. Balz ripped Bernard´s shirt off and wiped his face. "Chief take the boat down to one hundred fifty meters. I´m not wasting more torpedoes on this target. Take Bernard, raise him one meter and hang him with the bananas."

The torpedo hit its target and exploded.

"Another great example of my superior torpedoship," Balz said. "You may all pause for a minute of admiration of your superb commander." He assumed a heroic pose. After the minute was up , he continued. In Wili I was told I we get enough similar tonnage of our previous two patrols, we'll transfer to a type IX boat. The IX has better acoustics for the choir and lots of twirling space on deck." He then turned to me. "Plot another intercept . We need more tonnage from this convoy."

I got busy immediately, not realizing I was plotting my own doom.
