OBERLEUTNANT Z. S. Wolfgang Jung
U-83 Type VIIB, 5th patrol 23rd Flotilla
Feb, 26th, 1942 Grid, CO56

Encounter Major British battleship squadron south of Crete, consists of battleships KG5, Nelson, Rodney, 6-7 Dido class light cruisers, and 4 destroyers. Heading ESE at 16 kts, Possible Destination: Port Said.

Engage TF at 0815 hours. 3 destroyers sunk, 1 hit on battleship Nelson between turret 1 and 2, damage appeared minor. Fired 3 shot at KG5, 2 missed, 1 dud.

Attack parascope destroyed, damage otherwise minor. Will continue patrol with two remaining torpedos.

(BTW, how do I call the Goring Boys while I am underwater, will love to have them soften up the battleships for me a bit.)
