SH III, patrol 13, 13 MAR 41, U-48, 1st Flotilla, Brest
Enroute to the North Channel, to a point about 250 KM West of Glasgow. Sunk C2 cargo, 6446 tons, 3 MAR 41, BF45. Sunk C2 cargo, 6447 tons, 8 MAR 41, BE69. Sunk tanker, 11,653 tons, 13 MAR 41.
We had a bit of trouble on our last patrol while near the North Channel. We received a report of an inbound convoy nearby. We plotted an intersecting course for the convoy and caught four C2 cargo merchants with a screen of four escorts. Approaching from the Southwest of the convoy, we attempted a fast surface run around the rear of the convoy. Spotted by a British V&W destroyer, we submerged to periscope depth and faced our enemy head-on. At 900 km, we fired an electric eel, which swept past the destroyer on it's starboard. Success! For some unknown reason, our torpedo made contact and we sank our first capital ship! I could hear shouts of "Becks! Becks! Becks!" from the engine room. And so, our journey continues on our 13th patrol. I enjoy watching the sunrise, while on deck. I enjoy the majesty of the North Atlantic storms. I often let the game remain at 1X time compression, so I can enjoy the view of the ocean. Fair winds and following seas, my friends. Fight! Win! or Die!
