i hate mines i really do
patrol was going well i south east of scapa flow and went to periscope depth to avoid a destroyer only to suffer a massive explosion when a mine snagged my conning tower near the deck gun
critical flooding but thankfully my hull held as i sank to 104 meters before bottoming so i repair pump out the water ive lost both periscopes, hydrophones, deck gun and radio antenae
so i thank the u boat gods
im still alive and head home for wilhelmshaven
then comes the final blow i just southeast of helgoland im jolted out of time compression to the tune of critcal flooding again
this time there was no saving her i order abandon ship and we go for a dip in the northsea and await rescue from a nearby vorpostenboot
now heres the thing i traversed this area many times savely and as far as i know theres no minefield here but i cant be sure
anyone know about minefields around helgoland? i hate mines
