And after many weeks on patrol on an empty sea, we come across a few ships only to watch our torpedoes sail straight through them.

We're now down to our last two 'front' torpedoes so I decide to surface and bludgeon this ship (above) with shells. I was desperate to improve morale.. and I was desperate.

So feeling somewhat inadequately satisfied we continue, having only two front, and 3 back torpedoes left... with nothing to show for it. My crew are looking at me funny.

Change patrol pattern, there.. here... over there. Three days later a contact at long range. Chase this one at full speed.. You can feel the atmosphere in the sub.

Pick this ship up in the distance (~23:00) and set about tracking it... the crew are like vultures in a frenzy. It's hard to make out, and at 02:00 I change course for the attack.

I had the ship speed spot on as this first topredo hit the mark.. and the other torpedo just disappeared like the rest.

So at least one torpedo has worked.. and we set coursse for home, hoping to pick up single ships en route. Oct 1939

Sad to see it go down alone.
