dead still rigged for silent. i had already made my torp run and was waiting for everything to settle down so i could use my stern tube against a stragler.

i got pinged, no problem i thought, i'm at dead calm, no one is making any noise.

along comes a destroyer and dc's me...now i'm slightly damaged only to the extent of the conning tower.

still no movement from me...

along comes the second destroyer and dc's me rite on the money...

and that's all she rote, i'm dead.

question: how could they find me at dead still rigged silent??!!

oh, it was july 1940...viiC
