Attacking a convoy in medium fog, i'd already taken care of the corvette escorts.

I was approaching the convoy from it's Starboard, I'd used one bow tube to sink a T3 and both aft tubes to sink a C3 when my ever vigilent lookout crys "Warship Spotted" Looming out of the fog was a Aux Cruiser!

She opened fire as i ordered flank speed and periscope depth. His first salvo is a hit on my bow. Flooding in two compartments, damage to my radio room, bow quarters and torpedo tubes. I'm not going to get under before he sinks me!

Then i spot the sinking C3 from earlier, change my course and use it the screen the Cruiser to buy me a minute to get uder the waves. Of course the Cruiser kept firing and the last thing i saw of the Transport was it's bridge getting blown clean off!

Most Fun moment
--------------------

Being chased by a corvette while i dodge through a convoy sinking transports at flank speed with him hanging on my tail as i try to duck behind sinking ships.

Managed 4 runs through the convoy, then the other two escorts noticed and i slipped below the waves.

When i got back to base i found my hull was at 32%.
