"Kapitan, we have a transmission."
My U-boat men! Six years of submarine warfare lie behind us. You have fought like lions! A crushing material superiority has forced us into a narrow area. A continuation of our fight on the remaining basis is no longer possible.
U- boat men! Undefeated and unblemished, you lay down your arms after a heroic battle without equal. We remember in deep respect our fallen comrades, who have sealed with death their loyalty to Führer and Fatherland.
Comrades! Preserve your U-boat spirit, with which you have fought couragously, stubbornly, and imperturbably through the years for the good of the Fatherland.
Long Live Germany!
Your Grand Admiral.
"Set course for Freetown."

We fought like lions! Awesome! But next time, fight like U-boats. Lions can't sink ships.
It's not over yet.
