The next day we came across 2 more enemy ships this time they were both small merchants. Both we attacked on the surface with torpedoes both needed to 2 torpedoes to send them on there way to the bottom. Though we did have another dud which was not good I thought we were going to have a patrol without a torpedo failure. Well maybe next time.










That was the end of are torpedoes now we only had deck ammo left but we had over 200 shells left so I very confident we would still sink so major shipping with it going past patrols.
Then followed a days patrolling without a contact but on the second day we found are next victim by hydrophone. The sound contact was closing on us so we wait for him to come to us and surfaced and when he came within good range we opened up on her she was soon ablaze and went down without to much hard work for the deck gun crew.




The next day we spotted a ship in the distance we went to to find out more and found a medium merchant a nice target for the deck gun crew. After a while they had the ship listing and going down.


The next morning we found are best target of the patrol so far a nice fat large merchant. The deck gun crew were ordered on deck and when the gap to the target had closed they went to work and start to pump shot after shot under her water line and before long she was heading to join the rest of the ships we had seen so far this patrol. This was great we had sunk a medium and large merchant with the deck gun in the space of two day happy time indeed.
