Park, welcome aboard. I enjoy the sailing out with frinedly escort. Things turn like karp soon enough.

And just for fun...here's a picture from the 1941 German Movie U-Boote Westvarts, which was filmed with a real u-boat, showing the boat taking its leave of the escort!

Yeah, I follow the escorts sometimes, a beautiful sight it is! Very helpful too, keeps me out of those dang nets. But right now I am stationed in Kiel...Some U-boats did follow destroyers for campaigns as well, from the dock to the sea on various missions. As U-255 was suppose to be with Bismarck.

i tend to follow them more closely as allied air power increases in the Bay of Biscay... usually a boat length behind them.

Its been my experience that the flak boats go further out to sea... stay within a few hundered meters of them and it can be a life saver.

Its nice to have the extra AA guns on that escort blazing into the sky when you need them.

I tend to stay well clear of the escorts, since I usually TC right into them! Wouldn't be the first time I was rudely awakened out of TC with an eerie scraping noise

"Hi all. This is my first post. I was leaving port and I mysteriously sank for no reason. It didn't tell my why or anything."

"Did you by chance ram your escort while using TC?"
