U-27 lying on the bottom after it was hit by a mine in grid AN01. The bow torpedo room was flooded and the boat was stuck on the bottom.
Finally, they got free. But the boat was surfacing uncontrolled, stern ahead.
U-27 had lost her port diesel and the radio antenna was badly damaged. Also, it would take hours to pump up all the water from the torpedo room. Notice that the bow is lower in the water, because of the water pushing it down in the torp room.
