Who else is holding up the honour of the U-Boats?

U-123, 13 Aug. 1941. 2 miles SW of Madeira. Brisk wind, sunny sky.

Even though many of our comrades have gone west, we're off on another patrol to cause havock with the enemy. Who else is holding up the honor of the U-Boot Service?

U-960 Sept 16, 1943 North Atlantic. Heavy seas heavy rain. Heavy damage after attack on convoy, but still aflot.

U-601 baby. South Atlantic, rocking it out to our thang in the year of our funk, 1941.

U-182, 10th Flotilla based at Penang 20 Jan 1944 15 patrols and only just still here.

U-45 docked at Kiel and not going west for quite some time (to the pacific that is).

U-123 docked at Lorient 23 August 41 and not going West just right now (sh4)

Staying with U-511 in the Atlantic to create havoc for the queen.
Besides, from what BdU tells us, the Americans in the Pacific are their own worse enemies with unfinished submarines. No worries!

U-65, in the crushing black oblivion of Davey Jones' locker off Neufundland after Paukenschlag 2.

Is P a family name?

U179 IXD2 March 1943 off the Azores enroute for a patrol off Cape Town. Knocked down three Ansons before a Short Sunderland almost did for me. Four AA crew dead, flooding in all bar forward compartment. Full marks to Engineering Officer who took control of the repair crew, and kept us afloat. Fuller marks to the two replacement AA crew who stood in the carnage of our deck to see the Sunderland off. Still seaworthy. Currently at 180m shaking off three angry escorts with no sense of humour.
