U-34 lost with all hands on patrol 2!!!!!

[ddiplock]

Feb 27th, 1940 U34 was lost with all hands while attempting to intercept a British naval Task Force. As rotten luck would have it, they ran into a convoy so dove down to avoid being seen. It was dark, pitch black, but the one of the ships in the convoy was already on fire and the ships were in total disarray. The destroyers picked up U34 and in the shallow waters right off the British coast, U34 had not much of a chance in evading the destroyers without the ability to go deep.

After several relentless depth charge runs, a single charge landed near the conning tower, breaching it and thus leading to the destruction of U34.


NOTE: I'm actually pretty pissed that this has happend!!! Dead on patrol 2??? I wasn't even interested in the friggin convoy, it was the task force I was trying to grab that was cruising at a mild 8 knots in my area!!!! thats two careers in 2 days now i've had to start again. What luck!!!
