Had a pretty successful first patrol but the big one got away.....I ran out of torps and had to leave her with a bad list.....sure wish I had saved a coup de grace.....but it was not to be....

If that was me, and in deeper water, id have waited tell dark, then surfaced at 4000 meters away and try my hand with that deck gun.

Yes, i am that crazy.. well not normally but thats just something i couldnt leave behind without trying EVERYTHING.

I thought about it.....but there were a couple of Hunter Destroyers snooping about and I had to high tail it out of there....I get nervous when I have only five meters of water beneath my keel.....

Another story...in the middle of the Atlantic.

I think I would have attracted quite a bit of attention firing that deck gun that close to Lock Ewe.....was tempted though...gotta say.....

Sometimes you just got to let them go. I try to cheer myself up by thinking at least they'll be out of action for a bit.

Should have fired a salami out of a tube, or sacrafice a petty officer for the job

Sometimes, the mark of a good kaleun is knowing when to leave.
