February 1944. The U-977 was attacked by two single destroyers and counterattacked. Escort ships are sunk. The boat is intact. Convoy attack on February 10 in the evening, 2/4 torpedoes are defective. 2 ships were sunk. The escort ships did not find the boat the storm helped. On February 11 in heavy fog the U-boat was spotted by a destroyer and attacked from a deck gun. Urgent dive to periscope depth + evasion maneuver. Light damage to the hull and modules. Counterattack. Torpedo impact to the destroyer. Doesn't sink! The second torpedo provoked an ammunition explosion. Sunk. Repaired surfaced heading to base. Damn radar detector doesn't work well in fog and rain! On the night of February 11-12, in bad weather, the boat was rammed by a destroyer and sunk...
