U-100's first patrol (pics inside)

1916 · 10-13-05, 10:59 PM

U-100 set sail for BE31 today under the command of Oblt. z. s. Ludwig Schulz. Champaign and dinner was had by the crew celebrating their first kill and nursing an the injured type VIIB boat back to Brest, France.

British armed trawlers and a destroyer stalk U-100, launching numerous unsucessful depth charge attacks, despite and earlier attack that damaged the deck gun and anti-aircraft gun, as well as causing light damage to the diesel rooms.

The actual position of U-100, the stalkers are visible in the background. This would be the second, and last depth charge attack launched against U-100 this patrol.

During the first depth charge attack, the brave crew fought off the attacker, sinking the enemy vessel with 2 torpedos. The vessel was spotted near Bristol, England. The captain's logs indicate no prior engagement, suggesting the boat snuck past the allied defenses undetected. The logs however, do indicate a lack of shipping in Bristol, a lone C2 Freighter was spotted, along with a small tanker.

No injuries were reported. In all, 28 depth charges were used against U-100. Repairs were completed while en route to Brest, minimizing the vessel's time in base for repairs. The crew consists of a few veteran leaders, while the bulk of the crew is made up of various other experiences. BdU has expressed satisfaction with the perforemance of the crew.
