We are on our way home at the present time, having sunk two vessels before leaving, and being caught on the surface by a destroyer, that put two rounds in us before we could crash dive. Repaired the damage, and was able to go deep, and evade her, running silent, and creeping along at 2kts. Love it. Puts
