wahey Partol 2 was Amazing !!!

U31 Sank 9 Ships !!!

No Duds

1 Miss

1 costal merchant by Deck gun

then Patroled Al36 again god that's a long way to go

then headed towards the channel

on the surface at night then the Lookout shouts "Ship spotted sir"

Scan the convoy with the scope No Convoy Protection , or so i thought (must remeber to look more carefully next time)

2nd victim is a small merchant 1 shot and up she goes

then the words we all dread to hear "we've been detected Sir"

damm were did that Warship come from scan around and there she is another Flower Corvette , jeez don't they llike me or sumthing :rotfl:

so once again 35' hard to port periscope depth and decide to bowshot this one like the last time and it works again

now then very Carefully scan around the convoy decide there's no other escorts to worry about and surface

now coz i had a few problems on my 1st patrol i decide to kill everything at close range so i use the UZO the 1st target is a nice big C3 a 2nd look just before i fire shows it to be flying a neutral flag Damm !!!

the next one i look at is a Small Tanker yep it's a Yank again

so then i line up on a costal merchant wahey i can sink this one i torp in the guts and she breaks in half so that's 3 down

next target is a C2 Cargo so being a bit worried about wasting torpedo's after another ship ate 3 of em and still floated away i close to 320m and let her have it Result she goes down with 1 hit

Target 4 is another C2 same procedure except she's another greedy ol cow an takes 3 hits before finally blowing up

Target 5 is a T2 Tanker thankfully 1 torp splits here in half

yet another C2 Cargo 1st Torp misses by a country mile my fault got a little excited 2nd torp does it's job and down she goes

i check my 6 (180') and a Costal merchant appears just at the right time so tube 5 sends here to the bottom

then another Costal merchant hoves into View after a few adjustments she is sunk with 1 torp

and Lastly i use the rest of fish on yet another C2 Cargo

Apart from the Corvette all the ships were sunk on the surface

1 crew member got Promoted

2 Iron Crosses 2nd class for 2 others

9 u boat Badges

1 U boat war Badge

oh and a gong for me aswell

never got D'C no injurys home for Breakfast at kiel and a hot bath there again atfer almost 8 weeks at sea it was a bit stale in that Tub but she got us home again

p:s yep the Weather was awfull again
