I spent three live hours, trying to evade that destroyer and an other one which came along for the party, amongst an ASW Trawler. My type II took quite a beating, but I did manage to escape some kilometer away while they where bombing else where. It did look promesing indeed...

I was planning to do some crew management but "accidentally" ordered back full. The crew didn't hasitate... neither did the destroyers.
Ouch. But what was BDU thinking sending a II to the atlantic side of the Isles? North atlantic ok, bu the SW side? I would have encountered engine trouble shortly after leaving port, not sure how that wrench ended up in there.
