I'm sure the two Swordfish pilots were as surprised as I was at the sight of a U-boat surfacing directly below them. Superficial damage only, but it's the last time I neglect to take a look around at periscope depth before breaking the surface.

Pilot debrief...

"We where flying along, when suddenly right ahead of us we saw a U-boat surface, we where so surpised we missed it.....


Thanks for letting me know, I was getting worried that I had somehow not installed it correctly. If push comes to shove, I might just make a test of sailing towards the rock on the surface till I see planes.
