The seniors are all around the ward room.

"Ok, men, our small wolfpack is dissolving. U-100 has already gone back, Emerson in U-971 is also peeling away, but notched at least another; Andreas has got in amongst them last night, but it is now also retiring, with a bit of a dent in the hull by all accounts, but he took two more. We've cut them to pieces!"

"We have to try and scoop up the stragglers. Drop speed Otto, there's a couple lumbering in our wake. We'll hang off and catch them with the deck gun.

"I want extra hands on deck, especially in the Wintergarten when the sun comes up. Willi, get your watch together, and take whoever else you need."

Bruno started to protest, and was stopped with the flat of my palm.

"You and your crew have done enough, Bruno. Get some rest now. I want you to be at your best for when you take the salute back into port"

"You mean...?"

"Yes Bruno, you will take the docking honours. You've earned it on this patrol. In the meantime there are still destroyers about, and the RAF are bound to pay a visit. Let's not blow it now..."
