Couple of days ago - I uttered the slightly modified Gen. Sedwick thingy - "They couldnt hit a VIIB at this dista....."

Running away from a DD on the surface with dusk approaching I was hoping to evade and loose him in the dark. Seeing as it was 15m/s winds and I had him directly astern at 3000+m I figured he didnt have a snowballs chance of actually hitting me - well... I figured wrong and everyone on the bridge died, including me I guess seeing as I was on the bridge at the time. But I did what I normally do, cheated and pretended I had just popped downstairs to... "check the trim" or something such, so I managed to dive away to safety.

New depth 165 meters.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

I had no idea an American submarine would be that fragile. 165 meters is nothing!

"I can't get mined here..."

I did not actually hit a mine. As it turns out, I hit an iceberg instead.

:rotfl

r rather

I've said that too often myself, worst incident was something like this

Hmmm, hmm hm hmm hm (Me humming along to a tune while patrolling for ships in AN86 IIRC)
.
.
BOOM!
.
.
Clonk! (hitting the bottom at 25 meters)
.
gurgle (90% of my remaining diesel flushing out into the north sea)
.
.
an hour of fixing the boat later.
"Bernard, get up here! you're the new periscope, uzo, observation periscope, radio antenna and anything else sticking up above the main hull! And you better hope you can spit far because we don't have any guns anymore either!"

I eventually got back to newly occupied Rotterdam without my conning tower, batteries and only a smidgen of diesel left.

Patrol lasted all of 4 days, no sinkings and the Uboat was a write-off in june 1940.....

:rotfl: At the last story.

That was great heh I had A similer experience where I intercepted a convoy and was all hyped up and the first depth charge destroyed my batteries

BATTLE SURFACE!!!

The gun battle lasted 10 seconds.

August 1940. Medium Liner pops up on the hydro at 18kts. Just managed to spin around enough to get one off, which hit slightly aft of the engine room and slowed her down to 16kts. Ok - surface and put a few shells into her, no chance of keeping-up submerged. As the conning tower broached the surface it was all searchlights & shellfire! Fancy them having all those guns!!

"The Spitfire is such a pretty airplane..."

Biggles · 06-25-07, 05:04 PM

-Fan, det var nära....(damn, that was close).
Seconds later I'm hit by the second Catalina that attacked me....could only see the first one.....
