Yes I am aware of the dangers of hunting in shallow waters

In this case, i didn't want the convoy, but one ship was already on fire and they were in disarray for some reason. I know i certainly didn't fire on them but something must have happend.

The destroyers began hunting me and picked me up on ASDIC. I didn't know we Brits actually had ASDIC that early in the war. I thought it was late 1940 and 41 onwards it became a common tool of the Royal Navy.

Alas, I guess i'll start ANOTHER career. Maybe from Kiel this time instead of Willie.
