Well the weather was Terrible Waves were so high i thought i wouldn't get a decent shot
Sailed from Keil to AL36 ran into a few patrolling Ships around Scapa Flow but gave them a wide berth
got to my Patrol area did the 24 hour stint , then decided to head down towards Liverpool
got a contact report so decided to steer towards (nervously) Sonar reports came in thick and fast stuck me scope up a few times Weather was still Bad
then eventually whilst surfaced at Night the lookouts shouted "Ship spotted"
Dived to Periscope depth and the 1st thing i see is a FLower Corvette ulp.............
Close the distance to the enemy there sailing along at 6 knots i'm flat out at flank speed
start to line up my 1st victim when that voice shouts "wev'e been detected Sir"
Damm !!
scope around and sure enough the Flower corvette is hammering towards me put on full starboard Rudder and line him up for a bow shot fire off at 450mtrs the stopwatch ticks away forever I get ready tpo crash dive after taking a fix on the other ships
the stopwatch ticks away still goes past the etimated run time . i'm just about to dive and run away when Whump the Torpedo hits the Corvette stright between the eyes and sinks really quick like
another 35 degree to port and i start to line up the juicer targets the first one being the T3 she takes 3 hits before her back breaks 2 torpedo's just bounce off her
so that's 6 used out of 14 already
so next up i line up a small merchant 1 torpedo blows her clean out of the water .
Next up is a C2 Cargo and this is where things go wrong she takes 3 hits and still sails on i know have 2 torpedo's left i check my stern 180' and there's another Samll Merchant dead Astern aprrox 850m i fire off tube 5 and then quickly turn towards the C2 hoping to kill her off Properly
Fire my last Torpedo from 350m at a luvvley 90' angle and the Damm Torpedo bounces off the side of her
shortly after that "whump" and the Small Merchant adds to my my Tally by gracefully over and Sinking
so i had 4 duds out of 14 torpedo's and i already hate C2 cargo's
the journey home went without incedient and my 1st officer got Awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class
.................................................. .................................................. ...
2nd Patrol erm................how can i put this i've had a few problems as in i've benn Killed Twice so i think the Royal Navy have got it in for me
