The depth charging wasn't too aggressive tho', but I did sustain minor damage to the port prop shaft (?) or something like that. I managed to give them the slip after about 2 hours or so game time.

After that it was clear sailing. I encountered 2 French ships which I sent to the bottom for a total of 12000+ tons - it was a large merchant and a small one.

I've now exited the channel and am somewhere on station in the N Atlantic - BE44 to be precise, my assigned grid.

now try nygm with those evil inshore patrols and convoys 2
