U-108 in Lorient
First patrol started on 2 April 1941. Now completed.
13 ships sunk.
87,866 tons.
Promoted to Oberleutnant
Hull Integrity: 88.49%

The last kill was especially lucky. I had one torpedo left up front and so I closed on the convoy I had been following. I targeted the smallest ship I could find and let fly. About 20 seconds after I fired, I got pinged. I figured the ships would start zigzagging and they did because my shot missed the small ship. It hit the ship behind it, a larger 10,000 ton merchant and sank it.

Better lucky than good, I guess.

It's been awhile since I've had to deal with crew fatigue. I'll need to earn some medals and get things back where they belong.
