9002 Attacked konvoi SC-101 just northwest of Ireland. 2 premature, 1 miss, and 1 hit on a large tanker which blew up in a massive explosion. Avoided attempts at counter-attack

1030 Clinging to konvoi, going to reengage at night.

1530 Forced down by a very tenacious DD who has taken a position far west of the konvoi in an effort to detect and force me down

1620 Lost contact with konvoi. DD still in area. Forced us down twice. Saw us from incredible ranges of 12000ms and farther. Request further investigation when return to base

1800 Regained contact with convoy northeast of Ireland. Going to risk an attack close to British mainland at night.

2320 Sunk another tanker and small merchant from the convoy. Escorts were taken completely by suprise and no counter-attack was established. Broke off contact in fear of fighter support
