Air attack

It was calm autumn night when we sailed out from our pen in St. Nazaire harbor. The WO was nagging me with his "Ship spotted. Aircraft spotted." routine. As usual in the port, I didn't pay much attention. All of a sudden, all hell broke loose. Everywhere around us searchlights, explosions, gunfire and screams. Three or four B-17s came from east and wrecked havoc to the port. One ship was sunk (a minesweeper, I think), and one bomb damaged my boat. No-one was injured. Despite heavy AA fire, all attackers escaped to the west, although the flames coming out of their engines could be seen for quite some time.
For the moment I considered aborting patrol and and stop to repair the boat, but I proceeded with my mission.

In all this confusion, I forgot to take screenshots.

I wish to thank the GWX Team for including air raids into the game.
