Just get the crew settled into the watch-suddenly "Alarm aircraft".
Radar equipped Hudson in the dark, right on top of us. His aim was the only thing that saved us. Depth charges went off as I hit the crash dive.
All over in a matter of seconds. No one KIA or wounded.
Minor hull damage, was able to test dive to 158 meters.
Continuing patrol, but much wiser (scared) now.

...look after your crew - take it easy and come home!
