May 1940 I could not believe my eyes!

No it was not me...

OK, we can safely rule out a Axis ship or Axis Allie in the middle of a enemy convoy, so I came to the conclusion it was a U-Boat. Weather was awful and foggy and this escort was going like a bat out of hell dropping his nasties but not at me! Yes the escort was close but I think it was gunning for the AI U-Boat, just as well for me!

Crashed dived, did a sharp turn to port then went to silent running, not a ping in my direction and not a escort snooping around to find me, all the action was away from me. Slipped away to fight another day, first time this has happen to me, sweet for sinking three tankers but knowing one of our U-Boats will not be returning home left a bitter after taste.
