@ Lt.Fillipidis
For some reason I don't realy like the homing torps. I usualy carry one in the stern tube, which I get by default. Late in the game I prefer steamers for their long range.

@ Rafael
Thanks mate!

Anyway, I made it, all the way to Trondheim.

It's good to be back in Atlantic.
Naturally, since I spent all torpedoes back in Mediterranean, along the way I encountered a large number of convoys, unescorted ships and carrier task force. All I could do is just sit there and watch them go by.

Still, 58000t is nice result...

At the end I was treated with this:

Great work Meduza!

Did you go 8 meters surfaced, through Gibraltar?

And what a beautiful image!

No, I spent the whole time through the Strait (almost 2 days

) at about 250m. I went to snorkel depth once, to replenish the air supply.

Yes, it was an aircraft attack near Ireland, probably with rockets. Destroyed the radar antenna and attack periscope. And ruined the paint.

It may have been a safe haven, but someone forgot to inform the RAF.
