Surfacing in daylight in Hartlepool to save torpedoes and using the deck gun on the shipping. To my utter amazement, no aircraft showed up at all. (Mid 1940, but still)

And then one destroyer came poking around. But I was in the harbour itself (there was no way my gunners could miss, and turns out the destroyer tried to come in to get me as I'd submerged...right where my forward torpedoes were already aiming. Damned tricky getting out of the gap between the breakwall and wharves with a sunken destroyer in my exit vector, but still.

Recklessness paid off this one time, I think.

I wasnt paying attention to the fact after Id gotten away from a convoy my sub was leaking a little, so I went to TC at periscope depth and BAM before I knew it I was at 150 meters and dropping like a rock. I was in a XXI with 60 percent hull integerty, so I was deperatly assigning people to my DC section and trying to de flood the sub. I went down too about 210 meters before I was able to start rising. I then limped my way back to base while evading the everything.

Worst thing is this was all caused because I got cocky in a storm and a S boat landed some shells into me with his deck gun, while I couldnt fire mine due to the storm. That Sboat is a hacker

On my first patrol in AN47, I couldn't find anything at all in that grid.

I remember reading that Hartlepool was a port easy to sneak into, and it was.

I was literally 300m away from the stationery ships, I was at periscope depth but I did have my periscope up the entire time and the the lights were just loking at me

I managed to sink all 3 ships, one being a T2 Tanker, the other a C2 Cargo and the other a small merchant if I remember correctly. Was proud considering I'm new to this game

My battery was low though an oxygen reserves getting low, so I had to surface in their port, still not noticed somehow maybe it was the weather? It was foggy and stormy.

5 Mins later and a warship just rams into the side of me and sinks me

Mid '43 trough the channel on surface in my IXC flank speed... calm sea, clear weather, and dozens of katalinas with the moon behind their back... i shoot down about 40... maybe 50 of them... and left without a single bullet for AA guns... then I was forced to dive... and survive...
