Your first sub lost... Tragic Tales.

I didn't lose my ship, but I came very close. I was on approach to a large convoy with a light escort, at night. I managed to get in between the columns and started blasting off torpedoes left and right. What I didn't expect was them to start zigzagging. I looked at my map and it showed one of the merchants dangerously close. I sprinted up to the bridge (we were at Decks Awash) only to find a medium tanker bearing down, seemingly unaware of us and just following his zigzag. My precious U-67 was subsequently keelhauled by the tanker, and we sank to 150m before recovering.

I was fighting a destroyer in my old VIIC sub the U-529. I had jus barly surfaced in order to atempt to get the destroyer to ram us and tear its own bottom out from the raming. she struck the conning tower where I was and the impact threw me over board last thing i remember is the destroyer was droping depth charges. when I came to all that was left of the U-529 was a greasy oilslick and the destroyer was not to far away burning aand abandoned(I asume she blew her self up with her own deapth charges). I flip anover turned life boat and stayed there for two days befor being rescued by the U-106.
