Portsmouth

Anyone taken their uboat for a holiday there?

I've just poked U-35s nose in to see what's there and...well...

So far I've had...

1) A flyby by the Luftwaffe

2) A display by the Lolwaffe

3) Parking demonstration by Dinsdale:

4) And finally, the one thing that almost made me fall off my chair in happiness:

Of course, the real trick now is to position my boat so that the torpedoes I fire don't bounce off. The weather has drawn in more, visibility is poor, so it's going to be a tough one. Fortunately for me though, I seem to have caught the Royal Navy on its day off, no problems in DER KANAL. The one warship I did see on the way to Portsmouth was a torpedo boat which fortunately didn't see me in the weather. Nimbus is truely working for Das Reich!

One word of warning to all Kaleus on Portsmouth, there IS a sub net and, the only entrance in and out is incredibly shallow that you will probably ground yourself even whilst surfaced. This means that I may have to dig my way out of Portsmouth before getting back to Lorient as quick as I can.

44,000 tonnes....

Let's hope the Torpedo Directorate doesn't fail us!

U-35 out.
