As on a previous post and a bit of a dicey maneuver: Attack the destroyer
HEADON (throat shot) with a
high set speed steamer set at
one meter depth at a range of approx. 7
00 yards; the high speed of the eel offsets the destroyer's closing speed against the eels
arming distance of 300 meters.
IF IT MISSES, revert to
riverboat gambler(icy cool) mode: go to 20 meters at
full speed to pass
under the destroyer, with scope (slightly lowered)
still viewing. His depth charges at full tilt speed
should miss as too deep or not close enough. As he passes astern, rise quickly
back to periscope depth and take him with a rear tube. If
that misses, dive but
do not crash(save your air) to the 'basement' to run silent; seat yourself between the
jumbos in the engine room on the communal B-spülverKann and prepare to have your
'lily guilded'. The
U-boot's copy of
Mein Kampf will help pass the time and focus your thoughts on your sacrifice to the fatherland!
It actually works...most of the time!
