Reinhard Hardegen: "I had assumed that I would find the coast blacked out. There was a war on after all. But ships were sailing with their navigation lights shining brightly. I waited until the ships left New York then I would sail behind them. I waited until they were in forty to fifty metres of water, then I would sink them."

from The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness Naval Battles.
