31 May 1940:
Goeben departs on another raiding mission. Intended to head into Dunkirk to see what mischief we could cause there, but after receiving message of a convoy in our vicinity, decided to try our luck with that.
Results:
Returned to port 3 June 1940 to replenish ammo, having sunk 15 ships (the entire convoy we decided to go intercept instead of visiting Dunkirk) for 53,678 tons. Would have go on to Dunkirk but we'd expended all ammo for the starboard secondary guns, and the main guns were running low on ammo as well. Time to reload!
1 Large Merchant
1 Empire-type Freighter
4 Granville-type Freighters
2 Passenger/Cargo Ships
1 Small Freighter
3 Coastal Freighters
3 J/K-class DDs
