Thanks for the advice Penelope. Although it wasn't naive escort evasion that was the cause of my demise in my last career, it was my stupidity. I hit a lone destroyer (forget what type) with my last torp. It looked dead in the water and its decks were awash. Decided to surface 2,000 metres away and guess what? I was instantly under attack and taking severe damage, the half sunk destroyer was attacking me with all guns. I crashed dived but alas it was too much for my trusty VIIc and my crew were unable to get the flooding under control before my hull imploded. Ah well there goes another promising career. Still, I get to sample the delights of Wilhelmshaven with the 2nd Flotilla in my new career and get to look forward to Lorient and Bergen later on.
