One shot kill on a Black Swan - Luck smiling to me. :)

On my patrol got a message on a convoy, so went to intercept it. Lovely weather - overcast, fog and no rain, quite heavy seas. Visibility - few hundred metres for my crew, not much more for me myself. Decided to do it the risky way - night surface attack.

Approaching... approaching... BLACK SWAN!!! "Ship spotted!"... She was too close to dive, would kill me with the very first attack run... "Full Back! Rudder 5 degrees left! Man the deck gun! Fire at will!" I shouted immediately while watching the Black Swan. And after the first shot she went down straight ahead. Big boom and that's all.

We felt cocky and lucky. Made big noise (by sinking a large cargo with deck gun) to attract all the escorts... And they were coming in a line: another Black Swan, a Flower Class and finally the destroyer, Hunt I Class. Sunk with our deck gun, only the smallest frigate managed to spot us before sinking and fired, but the damage wasn't big.

And after that the unescorted convoy was ours. None of the 18 ships made it to home. Not even 1 survivor could tell the world what happened. Report - my current career in the sig.

PS After that Goebbels decided to spread some rumour about Bermuda Triangle and UFO-s. Some believe it till today.
