On the subject of hitting walls. Outside dover I was bumped by another Destroyer. I hadnt a chance in hell really. So I put U-46 at a 45o angle off the longest dock side wall on the Western part and carried on. Destroyer was searching as it went by. So I took off silent running and slammed into ahead flank. The Destroyer, alarmed as hell sped up and dropped charges which were some distance away. It avoided the wall but did a 180 and slammed into it at the other side. Joining its buddy that had done the same thing but from the opp direction about 30mins before. Who I was more then happy to put a torp into as it sat there. (The propellers were going reverse, fwd, reverse, fwd every couple o secs :S )
