An update to my second patrol: As I watched the neutral tanker sail by I started getting hydrophone reports of a merchant off my port beam. With no time to turn around I engaged emergency speed reverse and readied tube 5. The other merchant turned out to be a Granville type freighter flying a British flag. I hit her in the engine room, surfaced and finished her off with the deck gun. This brought my patrol tonnage to roughly 21,400 tons. I set a southwesterly course and less than an hour later my watch crew sighted another merchant. I turned toward her and sighted two more darkened ships, sailing one behind the other. It's a good thing I still have three torps in the bow tubes. Sometimes things just work out. This will be my first multi-ship attack so hopefully all will go well.

Proper intel and good luck favored me this patrol. Did the most daring thing a commander can do, snuck into the port of Gibraltar on the surface (all be it later in the day and during a storm) and waited for a clear shot. Snuck out undetected and docked at supply ship for fuel.

Not so bad to sink the hood

How many torpedoes did you shoot at her before she sunk?

Took 6, was surprised thought it would take 8 or so, but 6 could have been overkill, I just fired everything loaded and got out of there lol.

Down under eating rice with the locals and getting banged up on ever patrol. Last patrol mid July 1944 wiped out a small convoy at a cost, bridge crew and AA crew were all killed. I hear Hideki Tojo is going to pin medals on my crew.

We hit a large cargo ship with 2 fish, calm seas, magnetic fuses. Two loud explosions on target bearing and the ship foundered almost immeditaely. A short time later, my weapons officers claims she's a goner, then... ...nothing. She sat there, decks awash for almost 24 hours!!

Her crew abandoned her, and she bobbed about in over 1000 meters of open ocean!

It wasn't until we picked up a couple of her crewmen that we found out she was filled to the rails with timber!

No way she was going under without wasting a couple for eels on her.
