Neutral Convoy....what country is it?
Started a new career in June of '44 so I am snorkeling through BF16, when we pick up the sound of a merchant ship moving slowly ahead of us, so we snorkel over to take a look, and what do I find? A small unescorted convoy in broad daylight, consisting of 2 large tankers, 2 medium Cargo and a small merchant. To damn bad its a neutral convoy, flags lit up and running lights on. What country has a Green/White/Orange flag? It is not on the flag chart, so I said the hell with it and sunk the whole convoy, all 52000+ GRT of it.

The convoy lights are dead ahead
The merchantmen lay in their bed
The thump of diesels hammers down
In the oily sea-the killing ground
His knuckles white his eyes alight
He slams the hatch on the deadly night
A cunning fox in the chickens lair
A hound of hell and the devil don't care
