(GWX 2,0 Commander)
It is a clear bright night with low windspeed and I was entering the channelrun in -39 (my first patrol). Going at TC128 watching the map for contacts, the detection indicator is all in the green.
Suddenly it goes RED, not a sound from the bridge, I enter the bridge my self.
Not a 100 yards out of the starboard bow a destroyer comes running down on me at a 90 degree angle.
I crashdive in the same moment as he open fire, fortunatlty he waited too long and the projectile went above out heads. The only thing he could do was to target us with the machineguns, with minor damage as a result.

A few months later Im on patrol on a clear night with medium winds. I get a contact report of a lone merchant in close proximity. I intercept and am on route when I get an update on the contact now in visible range from us but not a word from the bridge I go to the bridge. Same thing we are bow to bow with a merchant not 200 yards out.
Fortunatly he does not spot me until we pass one another and he cant ram me.
