Whole 4 hours, lol

I was shadowing large convoy, Liverpool bound, that was starting to frustrate me with weird course changes.

So i decided to set 3rd ambush (they avoided first 2) in AM61 with 120m depth under keel(i know , bad idea)

Convoy arrived, i managed to sneak in and blow Large Tanker and Merchant wit 4 fishes.

Then i got detected, at first i had 3 warship contacts , that were keep pinging me.After hour or so, whole map went crazy with warship contacts , sonarman was reporting around 10 contacts all over the place.
It looks like that some TF walked in and picked me up

.At one point i had between 5 and 7 warships dancing above me(can't say for sure) , and i was moving left and right between 70-110m.

After almost 4 (real time hours) of cat and mouse chase, i managed to get out with no damage at all:rotfl:

Never had that much fun before.

Anyone else had that many warships hunting them at same time?

I once had six hunting me in less then 20 meters depth. They were real bad and I got out.

Going through Gibraltor have had the same kind of situation. Bdu must've wanted me "taken care of" as I was stationed in La Spezia and sent me to patrol CG 78. Crack head did it twice to me (giving me patrol area's outside the Med), both time barely made it back. First time had 11% hull str left, and 2nd only 4% from the constant barrage going through Gibraltor. The patrols were good tonnage wise with the heavy traffic, but the time and frustration of going in and out drove me nuts.

I had 14 trying to kill me in the straights before.

I once had 15

On a more serious note..........this adds further proof that any assets in the vicinity can and usually will be vectored in to assist.

Never had that many. I think my record is 5+Elco in the ~25m deep waters of Valletta.
