Ok, U94 really is in a spot of bother now. Same patrol which I resumed tonight. I surived the encouter with the convoy DD's and abandoned the attack on that convoy. Surfaced and 3 days later recieved about a convoy heading SW aft of my boat.

I swung around and ran at Flank to get near and intercept them. I was on the surface at night, perfectly calm sea and was spotted by the lead escort. A corvette I think it was.

I've now had to abandon the attack totally on this convoy AND the mission also. I've made the decision to return to Lorient given the shape the boat is in. I've saved it jst now and i'm still under attack but, here's a damage rundown:

Forward deck destroyed
Attack & Obs scopes both destroyed
Flak gun (twin barrel) destroyed
Deck gun destroyed
Radio antenne destroyed

I'm not in a good way. If i survive this attack, U94 is heading home!!!! We're in no fit state for anything anymore. Add the fact the boat has been scraped along the seabed more times than I care to count.

I think I shall avoid the Irish sea from now on!!!
