Gute Arbeit, Brag!

Maybe next time out, there will be the possiblity of resupply at sea. What a concept!

Hope the weather improves soon (but not "too much"). Gute Reise!

Great work there!

So the traffic is fairly good then? Are you using any mods?

Thanks!

So far, traffic is as good as Tanker Alley and north edge of Gulf of Cadiz. I have only GWX 1.03

Thats good to hear Brag. I've started a new career in Sept 41 with a IXC out of Lorient in the hope of gaining some renown and then hopefully venturing to the USA when Op Paukenschlag kicks off in Feb 42.

Never really done the trans Atlantic thing before it's about time I did it

09 April 1942.
Weather still lousy (fortunatelly).

We were following a whale factory, waiting for it to sink from one torpedo hit.

A destroyer popped out of the darkness and opened fire. We took a lot of damage while submerging. A sharp turn while still at high speed saved us from a depth charge barrage.

Critical leaks in both torpedoe compartments and electric motors comparment accelerated our dive. The destroyer made another pass but missed. Not that it made much difference. I realized we were sinking as we passed 200 meters.I blew ballast, it slowed the dive.

While boat chief bitched about our situation the crew cheered. We sank something. There were lots of explosions nearby.

On approaching 300 meters I blew all ballastand we began to rise.
The logbook showed the whalefactory as sunk.

We no longer heard the destroyer.
We broke surface expecting the destroyer to open fire on us--nothing. I turned east and headed away from the area at 7 knots.

The crew fixed the leaks, we're still floating. What happened to that destroyer is a mystery.
