On my 11 th patrol however came across 2 convoys steaming in the same direction, one behind the other, but distance was to far away for my sub to catch them as I was head'n for BE quadrant as report indicated heavy single merchant traffic.Arrived at quadrant when Sonar picked up a single merchant moving slow,orderd helmsmen to make for merchant and came across a lone T3 Tanker,after a few minutes Sonar also picked up warship long range heading in my direction.at periscope dpeth fired a torp at T3 which impacted mid ship slow'n her down to 2 knots,surfaced sub to finish her off with deck guns not wanting to waste a second torp.Īfter tanker slipped under the waves,the destroyer was very close in range and I was in not in good position to get off a bow ur stern shot at him,so orderd depth 50 meters and asked sonar to follow nearest warship contact,only choice was to evade and outrun her.

hers a pics of my U55 VC11B subĪnyhow,started on my 9th patrol and was orderd to patrol grid AN13,after completing orders you are free to hunt wherever you please.Decided to head for coast of Ireland for some juicy targets in shipping lanes,arriving off the coast of Ireland,started a sweep of grid BF13 when BDU radio message came thru,Large enemy convoy spotted grid BF13 at 5 knots,plotted a course for interception,which would put my sub approxamatly in the middle of the convoy.My strategy is at this point I can hide my sub in the noise from convoy ships,escorts slow down to 5 knots to sweep for subs making them easy targets.Arriving at my interception point ahead of convoy at periscope depth,did a hydrophone sweep an picked up engine noise from convoy.Switched to Nav map which showed me 14 ships steaming toward my position.my calculations for intercept were bang on,my positioning would be about in the middle of the pack.Also Nav map showed 4 Destroyer escorts,this was not going to be an easy task.Fired a fish at a T3 tanker and split him in two,escorts detected me an slowed to 5 knots to do sweep,between sinking other ships and manouvering sub around for best shooting positions managed to sink all 4 escorts and accomplish my best tonnage sunk score,also my flak gunner shot down 4 aircraft as well,resulting in several awards an promotions for my crew and myself.There are 2 log pages,only showed last page for total tonnage.Īye O.P.,Iv'e yet to come across a battlegroup,Aircraft carrier ur a King George Battleship would be a nice trophy /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" " border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> After shelving this game after only 8 patrols due to SF tech probs,now resolved /icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" " border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Started on 8th patrol,it was my 9th patrol things really started happening.
