* The few ships where shelled with 88mm such as armed merchant liner and some other merchant ships at a distance of 5,000 metres and below whilst on the surface. Plus I also used my Anti Aircraft guns to attack the merchant ships as well when all of the 88mm shells and torpedos were expended.
* Had Nil missed torpedoes on this mission
* Had 4 missed 88 rounds when attacking the last two merchant ships off the Moroccan coast (Casablanca and Fedala to be exact).
* All of the British Escorts did not attack me as I’d went in silent at periscope depth ahead of the convoy and after I’d made my turn to come into the convoy and also after I’d commenced the initial attack on the convoy.
