13:27 Deep dive successful,held at 200m,hull intact,suffered no damage from earlier attacks. 15:00 Surfaced,all minor damage to foredeck repaired distance smd - 13.2km 17:00 dusk dive,sun just beginning to set.Will surface when dark to RC distance sfd - 43.6km 18:30 surfaced,RCing. clear night,wind still 5 batteries 50% distance smd - 12km 21:41 RCd (+3hrs 10mins RC time) 7th Nov day 2 at sea weather still clear and calm no AAs so far approx 630km west of S.Naz. 06:15 starting to get light,dawn dive distance sfd - 236km ST - 08:00 08:00 surfaced still clear distance smd - 14.1km almost out of the bay of Biscay now.Maintaining strict radio silence from here on until we are out of max British air coverage (observed so far as being approx 2000km from known air bases) 10:00 left the BOB approx 820km west of base second leg of course,proceed to BE55 keeping just on the British air coverage perimeter,heading then into AE79,then east into patrol zone (PZ) AE87. Icelandic air cover expected to be minimal in area of operations,however extreme caution must be maintained,after all,this is a vengeance mission,and we must prevail on this one! 12:00 weather still clear,wind 5 still no AAs end of report :salute: .................................................. ............................................... |
Hit & sank a Greek small merchant (see my post in Mods Workshop about difficulties sinking a small merchant) yesterday. Got depth charged by 2 Hurricanes & lost another 2% hull integrity.:damn: Down to 90% now. G*dd*mn bees - anybody got a fly swatter!!:damn::damn: Finally reached CN61. I think that we'll stay down all day today...

U-99, Lt. Schulz, Oct. 3rd 1939 11:01 - Kvadrant BE3236 - 2nd mission.
Just finished patrolling BE31 - set course for Cherbourg to see if we could intercept some British troop transports to France. Received almost immediately report of a convoy approx. 100 km. South-East of us heading NNW. Went to intercept. Nice weather for hunting - if daylight: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...entweather.jpg Just sighted the lead destroyer - a C&D. Went to PD and turned towards him. And - some very nice echoes. Probably not many escorts so we shall try to take out the leader first with a TII. Now we can only wait..... http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...pproaching.jpg |
L.z.S Wolfgang Muller, U-65,Leaving Wilhelmshaven for patrol 7, Saturday June 15, 1940. Wish me luck :03:

17:00 dusk dive distance sfd - 190km new ST - 19:00 19:00 surfaced distance smd - 16.1km weather - no change RCing 20:50 RCd 8th Nov day 3 1080km west of S.Naz 06:30 dawn dive weather - no change distance sfd - 240km 08:30 new day ST - 08:30 distance smd - 16km 17:00 dusk dive dist sfd - 193km ST - 19:00 19:00 surfaced RCing dist smd - 12km weather - still clear,wind 5 20:47 RCd 23:37 entering middle portion of BE sector,as traffic is high in this area perfoming first sound check.I can't believe our fortunes,we have a faint sound contact,bearing 330,moving slow,sounds heavy,sound moving from right to left,possible heading of SW towards S.America turned to bearing 310 on a 20deg intercept course to attack port side of target sound checks every 10mins as E-Torps are the first load in the tubes we plan to attack at 500-1000m submerged. 23:50 gaining on target.seems to be heading more west,turned to put target bang on our bow,will follow him from astern.target may be a possible lone merchant heading for Halifax. change of plan,as Russian shipping is our top priority to aid our troops in Stalingrad we will try to sink the target with the deck gun.if target is heavily defended then will probably abort the attack and report back to base,then proceed to our main objective. 9th Nov day 4 00:01 still gaining on target after 3rd sound check expect visual contact by 00:30 - 00:45 end of report .................................................. ................................................ Finally some bloody action!,wish me luck :salute: |
.................................................. .................................................
Latest report 00:32 After an hour chasing the contact we seem to be falling behind,sound strength fading slightly,clear the target is faster than us,leaving us unsure of target type as we have not experienced any merchants faster than our U-Boats yet. attack aborted,proceeding back to original course 06:30 dawn dive dist sfd - 240km ST - 08:30 08:30 surfaced dist smd - 16km 16:00 BE55 finally left British air coverage zone (BACZ) (2000km radius) without incident.will radio base of our position just before upcoming dusk dive.will then shortly be entering Icelandic air coverage zone (IACZ) after a brief spell in the BE55 air gap approx 4.5 days to reach current position,leaving us still on a good schedule to reach our patrol zone (PZ) in good time. total air attacks - 6 total dist sfd - 1451km total dist smd - 133km end of report .................................................. ................................................ :salute: |
U-99 Obl.z.S Schulz Oct. 9th 1939 01:27 - 2nd mission.
Back in Wilhelmshafen. Generated in all 74.000 tons mostly from convoy in BE32. Had to sink all 3 escort vessels to get working peace. 4 LM's. Missed a large one on the way back through the Channel. F....d up the mission by trying to sneak up on an ASW trawler from behind in the dark to waste him with the deck gun as no torps left. Was detected and lost 6 artillery crew. Went below and got off the hook. Sneaked through the Dover Straits back home. How does one get back with 6% HI....? http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...chultz/6HI.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...aptainsLog.jpg |
Man, when the BdU ask you to be more aggresive it doesnt mean suicide, at least not until 1943.
