[1916]

Sad to hear, condolences to the families of the crew from U-52.

I was sunk on my first patrol just trying to pass the flow. For some reason, when I damaged a freighter near Scapa, I surfaced to finish her off. I submereged when I saw an armed trawler, and after 3-4 hours, 4 destroyers and a battleship were pinging me. The trawler was still crusing along the surface like an annoying little fish. That bugger ratted me out and cost me my boat! (aka I know how you feel).
