After leaving Kiel i was headed west to the english channels to reach my patrol grid in the atlantic at a speed of 6 knots.
shortly after entering the channel a English destroyer suddenly engaged me in the storm he hit my batteries and destroyed the right starboard elektrick engine forcing me with no power to hit the buttom of the channel and right after i got dept charged causing flooding in the 3 front compartmens with sonar radio and both periscopes destroyed i waited for the end. But! the destroyer disapeared and after 1 hour the flooding was under control and i was able to surface.
i quess it was just luck that the hull wasnt entirely destroyed and i was on shallow waters god bless me
atm im on my way to kiel once again for repairs probally the worst patrol ive ever made but also the most exiting and a great start of the campaign
