When a Captain gets Cocky

Hi all, on my last patrol I thought I could take on a Task Force which consisted of 2 Kent Cruisers, 1 Fiji Light, 2 Tribal and 1 V&W. Needless to say I got too cocky. I sank all 3 Cruisers which was exciting but the destroyers got me. Everything was destroyed, had to surface. Nothing was working, bow tubes destroyed all that was working was the guns and that didn't help. I took a photo how close the destroyer was literally on top of me but I do not know how to upload photos on this forum. Yes, I know there is a lesson here. All hands lost on U-199.
