Went on my ninth patrol last night,Kaleun Becker who has had an epic run of the best luck in all my careers was nearly lost last night

Departed Wilhelmshafen on 7 July 1940 with a highly experienced crew in his Type ViiB (The black wolf) after less than a day at see the crew watched a Commerce Raider heading out to her hunting grounds as we did the same. Set my nav points around the eastern side of Helgoland and went into Tc128(Thankfully) after about 3minutes I had alarms,critical flooding in my forward crew compartment,no periscopes(automatic turnaround to base)Deck gun total write off and hydrophone gone!!! Managed to control flooding,barely(running longer repair times had me a bit worried)

Turned back to base,after another10minutes at TC32 it happened again just with more disasterous consequences,lost A topnotch Officer(Watch,Gunnery & Repair Iron Crossed 1&2) hydrophone & Radio ops(see IC 1&2) and 5 other skilled crew

Nearly lost my boat too 3 compartments flooding heavily saved them and decided to head to Helgoland(closer than wilhelmshafen,not wanting to risk a 3rd accident could have been all over for Becker then).

Docked now,new crew still wet behind the ears

I take it this would have been caused by Sabotage & Malfunctions being on?
