He must have had a hard time finding me in the bad weather, I kept my scope up as zigzagged to me, and I blasted him. Again no sound or sight of any escorts. So I surfaced and charged again. Another frigate came, same story with him, then a destroyed came on his heels, again in the bad weather they must have had a hard time finding me, the destroyer went right by me, I picked him off and was getting ready to surface when I looked around to see how the sinking destroyer was doing, I spotted another destroyer right next to the wounded one. These guys seemed to be coming out of nowhere. I was so close to the convoy but now I had used up all my fish. I started to dive deep but when I saw the last destroyer he was heading back to the convoy?

forgot to say it's 1940 for me
