So whats the tonnage on one of those
Before the war got started in August 1939 I cruised into Portland and parked in the middle of the harbor. I waited there for half a day then dropped to periscope depth, plotted my attack, and waited for the war to start. At 0:01 on Sept 3, 1939 the Tommy's lost 11 ships. I've attached a detail list below:
0004 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! HMS Delight (C&D classes), 1375 tons
0009 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! HMS Cape Argona (ASW Trawler), 1100 tons
0032 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! S.S. Lehigh (Small Merchant), 2409 tons
0039 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! S.S. Gro (Tramp Steamer), 1996 tons
0041 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! M/V Glenwood (Medium Cargo), 5013 tons
0104 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! S.S. Corinthic (Tramp Steamer), 1993 tons
0107 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! M/V Cecilia J. Brown (Tugboat), 1133 tons
0112 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! S.S. Hurricane (Small Merchant), 2407 tons
0124 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! M/V Petronella (Motor Vessel), 114 tons
0216 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! S.S. Rolette (Large Merchant), 10420 tons
1315 Grid BF 31 Ship sunk! M/V Vision (Tugboat), 1123 tons
Please note, this was definetly done in relativly calm weather.
