Shortest career ever!

[papa_smurf]

I have just had my shortest ever career, lasting a total of 6 days! Oh the shame of it! I think I should be booted back dwon to bilge rat after this.

But ,before you judge me on this, I sohuld explain. It was august 1st 1942, and a new career in U-501 (type VII/C), and I was assigned to ET53, the first 3 days were quiet, even though I was travelling through the Bay of Biscay. Spotted 2 swordfish on the 3rd day, which I managed to shoot down no problem.
Then things got a whole lot worse. I was attacked a further 3 times by Avengers/Martlets. Beofre on the 6th day 2 Avengers somehow caught me off guard whilst I was heading down the Spanish coast. Just as I called crash dive, I took serious damage, which I continued to take as I went down - which I proceded to do, unitl I hit crush depth and ended my patrol .
So I say to all captains new and vets, beware of Allied aircraft from late '42 onwards, they can home in on you easily. Jut make sure you got some form of radar warning.
