MISSION 1: SHAKEDOWN
August 1938. Leaving port for BF 18. This is U-27's first mission. It feels that war is coming. So lets give this crew a proper shakedown.

Cruising the Channel. Bumped into a couple of Tommie destroyers. Exchanged waives and pleasantries. But it feels awkward. I have the feeling that we wont be able to cross the Channel so easily in the near future.

After some time patrolling our grid its time to test the hull's strength.
I sound the alarm and give the order to dive, ahead flank, depth 260m. My second in command stares at me trying to figure out if im kidding or something.

We dive deeper and deeper. Post the 200m mark, one of the helmsmen stares at me with disbelief. Im silent, not giving any orders to level the boat. I can feel the stress around me.

At 225 we start taking damage. I order the boat to level and start its ascend for the surface. 225m is not much. But its enough

We reach close to 240m before starting to climb up again. So 240m it is. Emergency lighting on. Minor damages.
