On 2nd patrol, September '39. Got into Scapa and sunk Royal Sovereign battleship. As we were making our egress in VERY shallow waters, we were set upon by 4 destroyers and 2 MTBs. After 45 minutes of cat & mouse, 3 destroyers broke away, but 1 destroyer (V&W) and 1 MTB were more persistent. The destroyer stopped to listen so I turned on her and put 2 eels into her keel and that was that.
When I raised the OBS, the MTB was burning also so I assume it must have been close to the destroyer when she blew.
Currently sailing the east coast looking for ToO, 3 torps left and around 60 88mm shells. We shall see what the day brings!!
