1939 - close encounter outside Portsmouth

I get chills just reading this.

Portsmouth harbor entrance is only 220 meters wide, and I have in fact grounded there in August 1939.

They just don't pay me enough to go there unless they order me.

Harbour raids in the early years are great, if it's shallow enough and you get it right the idiots drop the depth charges and sink themselves

Later on though the mines and nets come more into play and I'd rather be in some deeper Atlantic water by then.

Well played though
