Bernaaaaaaaaaaaard

[Marriott]

on my 9th patrol, west of Freetown i encountered a convoy. I headed straight for it and at periscope depth shot at and sank a large tanker and a large cargo. I had used up my stern torpedo and didnt want to wait to reload so i went to turn so i could use a bow shot on another large tanker. I'm about halfway through the turn when i get hit broadside by a merchant. So thanks to Bernard causing us to get hit, i have to repair flooding and damage, and escape 3 escorts that have now discovered where i am. I went through about 30 minutes of depth charges with none of them doing any damage, until they got about 5 or 6 good perfect depth charges right on my bow. Heavy flooding, sinking, and at 29% hull integrity i soon got crushed by the pressure. If Bernard had only been more careful my beautiful U-73 would still be here.
