after action report: Nightmare of Carrier battle groups

U49 · 11-18-07, 10:17 AM

Wilhelmshaven, 5.July 1940
U-49
Part-I

After completing a very successful patrol during Operation Weserübung in april '40 during which the british aircraft carrier HMS Implacable was sunk (see: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=124902)
U-49 was departing Wilhelmshaven on the 30th of may for another patrol in the north.

(gamma corrected)

The patrol area north east of the faroer island was found to be mostly empty and under stormy conditions.

Altough no ship contact was made. enemy presence was obvious at least twice a day by patrolling aircraft, which was indicator enough for BDU that a major enemy naval operation was under way.
