After 12 attacks by DD and 2 attacks by aircraft, just off the Firth of Forth, we in our lil canoe was running out of electricity...D121m, silent running...

...finally, the DD depleted it's wasserbombe but kept on making pass after pass, mostly from our stern...just letting us know, he knew where we were. EDIT: His method was "passive". He did not use ASDIC.

We ascended to 20m, got our vorhaltrectner all set and waited for him to pass on us again. He did. As soon as he passed overhead, we ascended to ASR depth and broached the scope and turned in the same direction he did. We were set up for a 3 shot fan 2.5° spread, Vg 10, Az/Pi, E 700, Lage 90. Scored three hits! Nr.1 Dud, Nr.2 MOT, Nr.3 Abaft stern stack on C Class. Sank in 3 min. after fwd magazine went.
