Hi AS, which part of Köln?
I know it was done, but the superior officers were not too happy about it, because the ship was most probably out of service for a long time. I guess everybody was happy if a sub was sunk, but a badly damaged escort was a high price in a time were escorts were badly needed, don't you think?
