I was just off Ireland in a storm, nightime, waiting at 14 metres, set for silent running and a dd with some kind of esp made a beeline for me and sank me with the first drop of ashcans
, I was not a happy bunny...just as you can be in the right place at the right time , you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time...well that is what I keep telling myself. Another time I spent ages getting out of the kiel kanal, then the RAF turned up and added some extra vetilation to my new uboat.
Good luck on your next patrol
