First patrol with my IX and i thought before leaving the North Sea and head to the Atlantic to take advantage of the perfect weather and get some tonnage on the East coast of England.I had to dive because of a petrol craft and after an hour surfaced i decided to surface.I then thought to have a look at the waters with the periscope because i remembered someone posting about visible mines.I didnt really thought i would see one but i did!Just a few dozen meters off my bow!!!I surfaced with caution only to find the petrol craft was still close.I had to engage it because there was no way i was diving there again.I get some very minor damage but managed to sink it with 4-5 shells.
45 tons!Yeah!

EAST ENGLAND?NEVER AGAIN.-
Anyway i will probably get transfered to France soon....
Stay away from the east coast!!!!
