If it was making 30 knots then it was a cruiser. Hard to catch those speedy bastages.

Hard?! A cruiser's doing 30+knots, and you're in a U-boat that can only do something like 18 knots at flank speed, and that's on the surface (I think flank speed submerged is like 8 knots)...I'd say that's damned near impossible unless you're right in front of him.
