This is it!
Just above Scotland,
Just finished off a fat cargo ship and its still early war (39). I dive to 15m to reload torpedoes and I get a hydrophone contact, I know I should of checked but heat of the moment, I went after it. On the way I reloaded tubes 1-3. I get within 5000m and surface its a warship (no doubt it was sent after me the RAF failed) and not just any warship a A&B warship. He caught me well off guard, I gave the order to dive to PD. Set speed to 1 knot, it was dark and calm, I was like a ghost. I watched his every move, he was zig-zagging meaning he knew I was in the area, but his search lights were looking around meaning he'd lost me. He was closing. My sonar guy still had no clue there was a ship in the area so I pointed it out to him. He was about 1000m away when I made my move, using manual I made a quick check of his bearing and zig-zag pattern and used it to fire a steam right at him. It missed, he'd seen it and moved at the last second and the eel missed by no more than 10m. He now knew we were there, somewhere. *ping*ping*ping*ping* I did a quick, but clever, correction to the eel's course. I then fired tubes 2 and 3 then ordered a crash dive while lowering the periscope. No-where to run now, the waiting game begins. 20m *ping*ping* 30m *ping*ping* 40m *ping*ping* one hits but does not explode, one left. 50m *pi-* "Torpedo impact" "Shes going down" Surface the boat. ![]() I guess the score now is: "Black widow"(U-46) 1 - 0 British navy ![]() |
