Sent out on my first deep Atlantic patrol to AK23. Just as I arrive I spot A convoy nearby on the map. The sun is just setting and I slip on in for a visit.
As a cruise up off the front port side decks awash 45 degrees angled right between the front and side escorts I look into my binoculars. Seven rows full of the fattest juiciest Tankers and Cargo's you have ever seen.

Okay escorts getting close and it isnt quite dark yet. Time to slip under the smooth as glass waves and go all quite and see if I have the key to the house. Damit the lead escorts swinging my way. He hasnt picked me up he's just swinging my direction. I go deep to 80 meters and keep the RPMs at 50 1 Knot indicated. The destroyers going by and is at my 270 degrees Pull to periscope depth. "Sir they are pinging us!" Verdamt! I was to anxious almost made it. Scope depth Flank speed maybe we can get some shots into the convoy and at a 45 degree I should get some hits.

Tubes one through four let loose as I set the Gyros manually for a decent spread. Destroyer closing! Quick turn right 90 so I can let my to tail torps loose! Tubes Five and Six fired blind into the convoy now almost parralel with to rows in front of me and five behind! Dive 125 meters.
The convoys over me know when I hear and Impact followed by two more.

Go deep and quite and slip out the back, Get some close calls but nothing hits home on my boat by a single Polish destroyer. After 5 hours he gives up.

I surface and reload everything and begin a pursuit course. I find a factory whaling ship left behind and sitting vary low in the water. Deck guns come into play at 1 mile and within 4 rounds she heading to the bottom.
Ship sighted! I head north at flank speed as two escorts show up and start shooting flairs looking for me but I slip by to the north already several miles from where the pair are looking.

Convoy sighted to my south east on a parallel course and Im about to go back in!

After 12 hours I need a break, So I figured I would tell my situation.
I will let you know the outcome!
