6 July 1944,
After hammering the dents out of the boat from our last patrol,
getting tubes 1 and 2 working again
and with the allies moving towards us from Normandy
we are finally fit to sail,
New radar detector fitted and a reasonable number of IV and V's available we set out from the docks at Lorient in the early evening, to immediately find ourselves in the middle of an american air raid,
We got a chunk of a B17, and escaped damage, the destroyer moored nearby wasn't so lucky
we set out for the channel in order to see if we can find any allied supply ships supporting the beachead,
Took out a wellington and a few kingfishers on the way round
only for the worst storm at sea I've yet seen in the game to brew up as I was passing Cherbourg (now in allied hands)
so far have picked up a couple of QR destroyers by firing homers on radar bearings
and then some idiot sailing a sloop crossed our bows, with the sea to rough to man guns we set on ramming speed and with the waves as they were ended up scooping him from below and dumping him to the deep, wonder if I'll get the kill credit ?
