1527 AF 83 Ship sunk! S.S. Sea Hydra (Troop Transport), 7414 tons
1818 AF 83 Ship sunk! HMNZS Gambia (Fiji class), 10725 tons

I was there 10 days before you!

Used the same picturesque route as you. Unfortunately this kaleu is a chicken, so we used very long shots, and missed some. Had quite some trouble with one of the small Tribals... at a longer distance, we saw - and heard - all ships suddenly started to explode? with all guns going off?? until we realised they were under air attack!

We went back to Trondheim for a filler-up and on our way south we did see, that they still were there, but no way we were going back in. Glad to see, you finished them off! :rotfl:

Great way to spend a Sunday

I feel ripped off. The cruiser reappeared when I was on my patrol I left it dead. So I can't figure that out. Any way I went back and sunk the the guy a secound time and still I do not get credit for it. I did get all the rest though. That got me the KC.

Also on the way back I got that J-K dd you see on partol it turns out that it was HMS Kelly. When I went into attack I thought I was going to miss here as she was at 30 knots so my approach was timed wrong when-
Bang. Guns.
The ships being attacked by Ju 87s. This allowed me to run up to her, but then the ac backed off and she heard me. To my relief they showed back and hit her once blowing of B turret. Then she was mine...
