Interesting Find...

Off the coast of France, June-ish...42.

I found 6 Black Swans in a row...just cruising south at 18 Knots or so...

I would stay away. Black Swans are my most enemy.

You've found Capt. "Johnny" Walker and his Second Support Group! Sink him if possible and make all our lives easier!

an odd find indeed, not sure of the historic value here though. stay away imo, they are low tonnage and as soon as you fire a fish at em all hell will break loose. sail in the other direction as deep and as silent as possible ( dependent on the year, available depth you have etc) its not worth the hassle.

Hunter/Killer Group.

Dive to at least 100m, silent speed and steer well clear or you're gonna be

:hmm: Not in June 1942 he shouldn't have, unless Madmike got his year wrong and meant June 1943.

JScones you are quite right. In 42 Walker was recuperating between the 36th Escort Group and the 2nd Support Group whcih he commanded from 43. Serves me right for posting without reading.

So who are they?

@mooncatt I don't blame you I'd do the same thing.
