Feburary 1940, BF grid, west of spain I encounter an unreported large convoy. I move into postion at night and spot many juicy targets. The lead escort comes in to veiw, and its got the polish flag. I found that a little odd, Poland had already fallen. Maybe this guy escaped to England and is still fighting the good fight. I fire my first fish at it and begin reloading. I miss, barely.

I got to take out 5 targets in one pass though. an Ore carrier, 2 Large Merchants a Large cargo and an Aux Cruiser. By then the Pole destroyer was pinging me and in an attack run. I CD'd from PD and got under the blasts. Close call. Took her down to 200 meters went silent, set speed for 1 kt and crept away victorious. I thought my encounter with a destroyer other than an England one was pretty cool.

take a look at these pages in wiki:

these are just examples and you still can visit Gdynia and actually take a look and visit ORP Blyskawica:
