Thanks you Kylania and Der Teddy Bar for the advise. Did take a look at my sub early morning (light) and it indeed was lower in the back. Still could not shake off the escorts though so I waited and finally got a good firing solution on the Black Swan and killed it. The Flower lpassed over me several times but did not drop DC's...he was out. Took a shot at him with my last internal torp and missed. Battery real low decided to surface and try to out-gun and out-run him.

What a rush. It took the 1XC ages to get going. Meanwhile i was getting beat up pretty good, but my gunners were also giving it back. Kept changing position and was able to get my big gun to lay rounds into the Flower and kept the 3.7cm gun working until the Flower was ablaze, astern and finally sunk.

Worst part of it was trying to get up to speed. Never did more than 13kts although the weather and surface was good.

Thanks again.
