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.
Asdic goes back to the end of WW1
