Hehe, its what happened after the first clip. The destroyer chased me for one (or two) days. He was doing 19-20 knots, and I was doing 20 at flank speed. Suddenly he sped up a bit and started shelling me, and I had nowhere to go. (I dont think the battered hull could take more dc`ing, so I decided to gamble. It obviously failed. In addition I did not know if I would be able to submerge again, with regards to the blown torpedo hatch.)

Has anybody else had a destroyer on their tail for that long?

I hoped he would keep his distance until we made it to Lorient. I would love to see him fight THAT crowd.

Alas ... U-95 is dead. Long live U-67!
