I sailed to the Denmark Strait off the southern tip of Iceland figuring that Lurker, the designer of RSRDC, had modded it into the game. The Bismark transited the Denmark Strait on its way to confront the Hood. My boat arrived at the intercept point in mid May, 1941. The crew was primed to ambush the Bismark. We were loaded, cocked and ready. And there she was! Dinner was about to be served, and what a dinner it was to be! On course and on schedule (just like the Germans!), and radar confirmed it was approaching fast. I turned to close, still on the surface, when my boat was hit by volleys of cannon fire. What the hell? A British cruiser had locked on to my boat, and sunk it before it could dive. Campaign over. I forgot one elementary rule of warfare, which, in the scheme of things, was minor. I was in a UBoat. The Bismark was on my side.

Still, a result nonetheless! And a bloody big explosion to boot!! Well worth it I would have said.
