Just cleared France,, running at top speed in the night to get as many miles between me and Great Britain as possible,
Out of the thick of night came the Plane,, never once saw her, bomb plopped right onto my bow,
My dedicated Damage control team jumped to it and saved the boat after reaching 220 meters and leveled off, stopped the floodig and then surfaced,,but the forward dive planes were destroyed.
Guess what,, you cannot go to periscope or any other controlled depth in that situation. Ran for home,, killed two birds enroute, .
patrol lasted 2 days, The boat was a wreck at 25 percent integrity left. and three men wounded, 2 KIA
all for a handful of tailfeathers. 2 lousy birds.
