Got killed by a BB - Page 2

In a new career out of Wilhelmshaven, June 1940, I was off the west coast of Ireland and hunting a convoy in very messy weather. I had to make numerous dives for sound checks in order to get bearings and eventually entered the convoy from the rear, surfaced. Two freighters suddenly lit me up with their lights, so I quickly torpedoed them and continued further into the body of the convoy from the rear. From the bridge view [F4] I saw a large form taking shape. Uh oh, Revenge class battleship; dive, dive! Too late. They opened up on me with everything they had and all hands were lost.
