U-65
October 1939 , AM 52
Wind 15 m/sec , sea state : harsh
Traced and intercepted British small merchant
Fired 6 TIs against her
2 premature explosions spotted
2 explosions on target seen
2 unaccounted for.
Target sunk.
A total waste of expensive torpedoes for such a small target.
Update
Just fired my last 2 TIs at a medium merchant (6000 grt) under the same weather conditions. Both premature explosions. No internal torpedoes left. She will move on.
