Six Patrols in on my first career...

Summary
Oberleutnant z. S. Paul DÃ¶hler and U-11 were lost sometime on 03APR40.

Got all confident, went right up to the entrance of Scapa Flow and sat there waiting for a big prize to come along. After a day and a half of waiting i thought 'Sod it, i'm going for it'. Went to go in, had a sweep round with the obs peri and spotted a Flower Corvette. Took that out and slowly went towards scapa. Before i knew it i had luckily spotted a swordfish flying round me and then spun the peri round to see another Flower.

I hit silent running, dropped to 50 meters and tried to sneak out.

No good.

We took heavy damage, i hadn't setup a damage control team before the attack (

) and subsiquently lost the diesels and was spraying fuel everywhere. The sub began to get deeper and deeper. I hit the blow ballasts to try and raise her, but the flooding got worse and worse until...

All 27 crew members of U-11 perished.

Time to start again...this time though not from Kiel. The old IIA can't do much after you've rounded Denmark!

What a fantastic game
