Feb 1940
Intercepted a small convoy... perhaps 4 columns with 5 ships per column. and I noticed one escort leading the bunch... a single black swan. We stalked them for most of the day from long range and closed in at sunset, then waited until 2100 hours until I conducted a night surface attack claiming a cyclops, and two medium tankers. the Black swan closed in and depth charged me until about 0400 hours!!! I gave him the slip every time, thank god it was 1940! but here is where it gets interesting. I monitored him on hydrophones as he broke off his attack against me and rushed back to the convoy. then he abruptly slowed down and started zig zagging. one problem for Mr. Black Swan... HE COULDNT FIND THE DAMNED CONVOY :rotfl: the poor bastard wolf hound was completely lost from the flock of sheep!!! ![]() as he searched in vain about 100 KM north of his covoy, i stalked in on them again making contact on this now completely NAKED convoy and surfaced and i proceeded to cut their guts out!!! We cut them to pieces!!! it was a slaughter. before he could appear on the horizon in an apparent attempt to respond to mayday calls we managed to sink all but 3 of the ships in the convoy. if i were that Black Swan Skipper i would set course for some small island never to be seen or heard from again!!! i wish i could have been a fly on the wall when he had to march into his CO's office and perform the rug dance to end all rug dances!!! ![]()
