First longer WSM career, which did not end well...
When I left Brest I decimated a convoy while on the way to the US coast. No shells left so I resupplied at the U-463 and continued on my coast sweeping seek and destroy mission. Ran into a convoy of 36 ships, 9 of them warships, in grid BB75. I disabled a Great Lakes Freighter at the start of the attack and hit it's propeller, she was going nowhere so I would get her later. After about an hour of fighting I had destroyed 35 ships. Couldn't leave the scene without sinking all ships that were in the convoy. The Great Lakes Freighter had no armament so I went full stop right beside here and manned a gun...no more shells... I fired about 1000 rounds of AP flak ammo in her hull but still didn't sink. I just couldn't risk the cargo being salvaged. So I made a 360 turn and headed full steam ahead at her to run the ship over. Well I sank her, but she exploded under my keel and took the battleship and my crew with her. Thus ended my first 3 patrol WSM career totaling 76 sunk ships worth a total of 311164 tonnes. Oh, and I downed 2 aircraft Moments before my doomed faith --->
