Found one sailing within a large convoy from Russia to England from Nordlöwe IIRC 1942 December. As a commander of 11. Flotille during WaWI I had to restrict kaleuns sinking Carriers during the latewar period they were found in Norwegian sea and in Nordlöwe. 11. Flotille was known as Carrier destroyers. After 4 sunk during 2 patrols I had to enforce a rule not to sink any Fleet Carriers any more as that would have been unrealistic but few Bogues sttill got sunk during late war periods.
There was almost always a TF trying to ambush Uboote leaving Bergen right out of the fjords and fighters were on their tails and TF was heard almost always one Uboote was followed to Nordlöwe by one TF and constantly attacked by airplanes when surfaced.
