On June 8, 1940 U-93 left Wilhelmshaven in a brand new Type VIIC on my 8th patrol bound for grid AN18. On the way I intercepted an Empire Type freighter and managed to sink her with a single torpedo.
About a week later I came across two vessels heading north. An intermediate tanker and a smaller patrol vessel. Launched two torpedoes, the first one hit the patrol ship, tearing off her stern. She sank in seconds. The second impacted 10 seconds later and hit the tanker amidship tearing a large hole in her side. By the end of the hour she was on the bottom.
Once my patrol time here is finished I plan on heading off towards grid AM25.
Continuing patrol... 11 torpedoes remaining.
