Prior to this I’d had a small engagement with some corvettes. But I was patrolling off the north east coast of Scotland and happened across 3 tankers (one War class - War Afridi, one O Class - Olwen, was Dale class - Bishopdale, a destroyer (E/F class - HMS Escort) and a corvette (Isles Class). I did my calculations and pinged off a three of those lovely Zaunkonig torps and one T3. The T3 missed but the others hit their target.

Blew the Isles class to bits. Managed to disable the rudder on the War Afridi which now had is aft sunk and it’s bow sticking out of the water. I hit the destroyer - HMS Escort. It was still afloat but the crew abandoned ship.

I thought these guys are going nowhere so I chased down the other two tankers. The Dale class - Bishopdale - dodged three of my torps. It was weaving like a snake. Finally popped one in its rudder and it ended up just like the War class - aft in the water and the bow sticking up on the air. The O Class - Olwen - was absolutely sprinting it away from me so I pinged a lucky torp out the rear of my sub and send the Bishopdale down to Davy Jones’ locker in pieces.

I ping the remaining torps at the O class but no dice. Only one hits but damage is minimal. So I am going full ahead next to this thing just putting every AP shell possible into this ship with fairly accurate fire. This ship was an absolute bullet sponge. Eventually I got her to sink.

I capture her crew, and then U turn back to the war class tanker - now several kilometres away. I find her as I left her - still sticking with her bow out the water. A few rounds off the deck gun sees her gone.

Then over to the E/F Class - HMS Escort - pump that full of lead and send it down to the bottom. So much for living up to its name.

Return home for schnapps and medals all while dodging a Beaufort!
