Bagged my first Bogue ever!

K-61 · 09-10-10, 11:06 PM

Oc.t 42 and I have just bagged my first Bogue carrier. I was tracking a convoy, or what I thought was a convoy. As I was doing an end around, another group of escorts hove into view. I thought, oh no, not another convoy. I veered off to the south and detected another group of escorts. Now I was in danger of being pinched by two groups of escorts. Scanning through the scope I saw a Bogue and four Clemson escorts. Now I knew where those Avengers that forced me to dive were coming from. The "convoy" I thought I was tracking was actually a task force. I had four eels left, 2 steamers and two electrics. I fired a magnetic electric from just under 5000 M and it dudded! Next I fired a steamer, which did hit. The Bogue settled by the stern and stopped but showed no signs of sinking. Knowing she wasn't going anywhere I took several hours to evade the Clemsons and worked my way to the south of her, where I fired my last electric. A hit and she began to settle a bit by the bow. To ensure the kill I fired my last steamer, which detonated and I hauled it out of there as fast as I could. She sank and I sailed for Brest, where my itchy neck was finally scratched with a Knight's Cross.

I've been wanting to bag one of those pesky Yankee carriers for ages and now I've done it.
