Holy Scmokes!!

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun the tribal class is going down.

Kreider:

Herr Kaleun, we have hits on both heavies ...

Capt. Rott:

Up scope. Down scope.

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun, I have two more hits on the heavies. Their screws have stopped turning!

Capt. Rott:

Up Scope. Down scope.

Capt. Rott:

Men we have 2 heavies near us and they are pigs! Big fat pigs. Ready for the slaughter.

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun! I have a tribal class headed for us.

Herr Kalelun he is pinging us.

Capt. Rott:

Ahead full. Bearing to the closest heavy?

Kreider:

62 degrees off our bow.

Capt. Rott:

Head for the King George.

Hydrophone Operator:

Depth charges!!

Capt. Rott:

Steady men. Brace. How far to that heavy?

Kreider:

190 meters.

They are raking us was small fire!! The rolling sea is exposing us!!

Capt. Rott:

Take her down another 10 meters. I will watch for the hull undersea.

Up scope. I see her. She is in view. Steady. All stop! Reverse flank. Goot. All stop.

Men we are under the battleship. I see her pretty screws.

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun. The destroyer is pinging us.

Capt. Rott:

Follow her and keep calling her position.

Hydrophone Operator:

She is slowly circling.

Capt. Rott:

Goot.

Klentz load our fish fore and aft.

Sea is making up. Coffee now someone.... we are beneath her screws, I see her rudder listless and flapping with the sea.

How are we doing Klentz?

Klentz:

All is goot Herr Kaleun. Maybe 30 min. on first eel load.

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun. The tribal destroyer is circling.

Capt. Rott:

Let him. Let him. We sit tight here men.

Let's hope he does not sit on us, that big fat pig above us!

[PappyCain]

[PappyCain]

Capt Rott:

Klentzman, how are we doing?

Klentz:

Two tubes Herr Kaleun.

Capt Rott:

Goot.

Kreider:

The destroyer is still 300 meters and circling.

Capt Rott:

Goot. We have to make him sweat too. He must be sweating. He has lost his brother and now we have his pigs and he can do nothing.

Kreider:

Nothing Herr Kaleun?

Capt Rott:

Nothing Kreider. We sit and wait. He cannot risk depth charging us. Up top that beast is trying to stay alive. A depth charging near us will send a concussion that may finish her off.

Kreider:

I see. Think they know up top we are below them?

Capt Rott:

Yes.

We wait until we have all eels ready. Tell Klentzman to kiss the the fish.

[PappyCain]

Capt. Rott:

Waiting. Waiting. More coffee Stutz.

Stutz:

Yes Herr Kaleun.

Capt. Rott:

How much time has gone by?

Kreider:

4 hours sir.

Capt. Rott:

Hmmm. I see the starboard side of the King George listing quite a bit. Back 1/3.

Hydrophone. Give me the Tribal's location.

Hydrophone:

Off our bow to the starboard 89 degrees.

Capt. Rott:

Goot.

Kreider. Make depth 25 meters.

Make forward slow and easy.

Up scope. I see our stern. Goot. I see the bow Goot. Clear.

(... the old man is going to hang us on the screws! )

Make depth 20 meters. All stop on engines.

Hydrophone Operator:

What is that?

Capt. Rott:

We are hanging on that pig's starboard bilge keel.

Down 5 meters.

Goot.

Hydrophone. Tell me where that Tribal is?

Hydrophone Operator:

Just off our stern.

Capt. Rott:

Goot. We are going to make 12 meters depth.

Kreider:

What are we doing Herr Kaleun?

Capt. Rott:

When she passes the King George's bow, she will be in our sights.

Kreider:

What about the pig's guns.

Capt. Rott:

They will be pointing down to the sea surface on her list.

Be ready to make 30 meter depth and 1/3 flank if we miss.

(.. he wants us to slide under the pig again!)

[PappyCain]

[PappyCain]

Capt. Rott:

Gentlemen ... we are clear. Periscope depth please.

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun the tribal has made another pass and is on our stern.

Capt. Rott:

Ah, that is goot.

Make tubes 3 & 4, steady up.

Hydrophone Operator:

Tribal class is to the port of the heavy sir.

Capt. Rott:

Goot.

Kreider:

Depth 18 meters sir.

Capt. Rott:

Goot.

Hydrophone Operator:

Herr Kaleun, the tribal is round the bow.

Capt. Rott:

Goot. I have the sea surface.

(... he better make this shot good, we have one chance at this tactic)
( ... old man knows what he is doing Joseph, be calm)

Here she is. Bow. Midhips.

[PappyCain]

A rounding of the battleship's stern and heading for the rounding between the King George and the Nelson class.
U-Boat is on the starboard side of the King almost at periscope depth - tubes open...

[PappyCain]

Capt. Rott:

Tube 3 loose!

Down scope. Flood tanks. Make 30 meter depth.

Give me a count Kreider. Make ready for call to reverse.

[PappyCain]

[PappyCain]

Hydrophone Operator:

A hit! We hit the Tribal!

Capt. Rott:

Alright men settle down.

Klentzman, rack 'em up.

Kreider standby.

Hydrophone on the speakers, volume up.

Hydrophone Operator:

She's going down. She's going down.

We are clear Herr Kaleun.

Capt. Rott:

Ok. Ok. Now let's go finish the job. Right rudder 40 degrees, flank speed.

Ok.

This time we teach them our tricks eh' Joseph?

Extend out 1400 meters and prepare to turn bow into the King George. Maintain periscope depth.

Up scope.

She is clear Joseph. All clear with two fat pigs wallowing on the sea ready for slaughter.

Kreider:

Which one first Herr Kaleun?

Capt. Rott:

We finish the King George and then .. then we finish the Nelson class.

[PappyCain]

Real Time: Over 6 hours on this caper from the time we sat under the King George ...

[PappyCain]

[PappyCain]

Fini.

Back home with my Helga!
