Who let Bernard command my boat last night?

Blacklight · 11-05-08, 08:28 PM

Bernard struck on my boat durring my last patrol too.
I was heading accross the Atlanitc to my assigned patrol zone just east of New York. I was about a quarter of the way there when I ran into a fast moving tanker just as the weather went to all hell. So I gave chase at high speed and managed to sink the sucker. I then ordered Bernard to return to course and went about my other captaining businesses.
Time compression increased....
I leave the room to grab a drink. The wife gives me some orders too. I get back to find myself three quarters of the way to my destination. I do a quick dive to check for ships around me as I was in a convoy rout. When I checked the engineer's report on the ammount of battery I had left, I noticed that I had NEXT TO NO FUEL LEFT !!!
Apparently, Bernard hadn't changed the speed back down to 8 knots and we had gone full throttle accross the ocean !!!

We never even got CLOSE to our patrol zone and needed a tow back to France.

I think i had Bernard as my navigator on my first trip into the english channel in a type II canoe, which i affectionately call the tin can. we went in just fine, sunk a few prizes, and on the way out, just below periscope depth about a meter off the sea floor, we collide with something. all hands lost. no contacts came up, nothing i saw was there, about 5-10 km east of Dover.

<--- yeeehaw, not a bilge rat no more

I knew it. I surrounded by Bernards. Keep firing Bernards!

@ scratch81 - I had a similar experience in my IIA canoe (which I affectionately refer to as my bath tub!) up by Lerwick. Bernard navigating narrow and shallow channels decides to test the hull integrity by bouncing off the sea floor a couple of times (mind you, it was only 1m below!!). Needless to say, five hands lost and hull ended up like a salad colander………..what’s more……..Bernard Lived – arrrggghh!

This guy ALWAYS lives !!! If he happens to be on my Uboat when it goes down, the Allies just pick him up and ship him right back to us so we can put him on more Uboats !!

Bernard was at the helm when my gunners were engaged in a battle with a destroyer. We knocked out their guns and they proceeded to steam towards our conning tower and run us over. I couldn't find out where he went after that incident, me and my crew hope he was washed out to sea in the incident.
