There is no possible way that any one of us who are well trained, steely eyed Kaleuns would ever make a bone headed move, push the wrong button, surface at the wrong time, run into docks, hit flank speed by mistake when stealthily making an approach with escorts nearby, not diving when Italian aircraft are spotted after they have switched sides in Sept. 1943 while cruising the Med, torpedoing a neutral, almost torpedoing a German ore carrier off the coast of Norway, etc.

Someone must get the blame and that person is the crew member on every one of our submarines named Bernard.

How do you spell his name...Bernard thus,

Every u-boat is issued a Bernard upon it's first cruise. He is usually stored in the forward head with the extra rations, sometimes moved to the external torpedo stores when they become available. Most kaleuns only deploy the Bernard when a scapegoat is needed to take the heat from BDU, but some less experienced, and occasionally senior ones, let him roam free, thinking the extra man power may be useful.

They soon learn.

Mine was a late war transfer from Herr Balz's boat. I figured how much damage could he do with his trumpet?

lol some good stories, I died once while exiting the port, it gave me a was destroyed by pressure, and I was on the surface with no damage, nor did I get a message saying we were under attack. Epic fail game is fail lol.

Returning home after a fairly successful patrol, got impatient to reach my pen and was crushed by one of the gates whilst playing chicken with the Wilhelmshaven locks.

You probably hit a mine. In GWX friendly ports have them too. You can locate them with one of the pull-down maps in the Nav Map screen.
