The now famed U-97 may meet its end!

[mstgnymike]

As some of you may have seen Kaleun Navarre and U-97(VIIC) is now famous for destroying a Gibraltar hunter killer group. It was a succesful attack but I was unable to breakout into the med sea. U-97 was attempting her second try at breaking through. At 0247 she surfaced and began to surge ahead at ahead standard. Around 0630 another H/K group appeard. A black swan and two hunt ones. I went to decks awash and charged to full speed staying close to the African coast and attempting to sneak past the right of the group. Im flying ahead when bam a shot is fired in the distance and i take a direct hit to my conning tower killing crewman Erwin Metz. I order the dive and turn toward the deep ridge seperating Gibraltar and North Africa. The swan lunges toward me. 50 meters...60 meters...70...depth charges in the water. U-97 rocks in the depths but takes minor damages. 100 meters. Pinging at a slow rate. Sonar man reports two warships just above. Charges! The boats lights shatter, water begins to spray! ping......... 140 meters. Repairs are slow. Damage report, fore quartes quarter flooded. Port engine damaged, torpedo tube 2 destroyed, attack periscope destroyed, flak gun destroyed, deck gun not functioning. Pinging continues but charges seem to be missing just off away from us. At 190 meters CRASH...the sea floor. Shut off all engines. Damaged suffered from the collision flooding continuing. I gotta go to work saved game. WHAT NOW? Hydrophone reports all three DD's above us and one more possibly incoming!
