Hello All, Just wondering if anyone has ran into this a stationary convoy during April 1940. I was on patrol with my Type VIIB U-boat for the 1st Flottilla and receieved an Enemy Contact report. I just finished my grid and deceided to check it out. Running at 1/3 speed and periscope depth I infiltrated the inlet and thru my crosshairs there was before my eyes a Fiji class, 3 tribal destroyers and 3 troop transport(2 already on fire?) just sitting there. I sneaked within 2000 meters of my closest contact with twilight rolling in. Needless to say I sank the following. 2 of 3 tribal destroyers, 2 of 3 Troop Transports the third on sank on its own and the Fiji Class. I have never seen something like this, Have you!
