Just had the craziest convoy attack. July 1942, BdU called a task force heading straight for me, so naturally I headed off towards it.
Got to it and it turned out to be a massive convoy, containing 4 T2's and a bunch of C3, C2 and coastal merchants.
Guarded by 2 Flowers and a Clemson.
While sneaking into range, one flower behind me started pinging like mad. Fired a pair of torps into a tanker then fired a Falke at the flower and dived.
By the time I surfaced, the convoy was a mess, ships heading east and west, all tangled up, coming to a halt etc. Spent the next couple of hours merrily blasting tankers and C3's.
It was so confused that at one point I was caught at periscope depth by two C2's heading in opposite directions with me in the middle. By the time I realised the danger, the sub was already being rolled through 45degrees. No damage of note though.
The thing is, the biggest warship I saw was a Clemson. Still wondering why it was called a task force
