A Lengthy, planned kill

The war is 6 days old. U53 of the 7th Flotilla departed Kiel 3 days before, on September 3rd, 1939 for her first war patrol.

She's come across a loan merchant travelling slow, hugging the British coastline, but the weather and sea conditions are apalling to attempt a sucessfull torpedo attack and even at Periscope depth, the diving officer can't keep the boat level and the conning tower keeps breaking the surface water considerably.

The Captain in his wisdom, (being me, lol) has decided to let the merchant pass, then turn about and follow them to wait for a break in the weather before striking.

This could be a fun hunt guys. Thoughts anyone?
