Update on U117. While tracking a large allied convoy, we were discovered by a warship that was unattached to said convoy. Successfully evaded after several hours. While surfacing to replace oxygen in bad weather, watch officer moron lit a cigarette on the conn tower (only explanation I can think of for aircraft spotting us in this soup). Our position was discovered by patrolling aircraft and the boat was subsequently sunk.

Will now be operating U-13 (IIA) out of Kiel. Need more practice before taking the larger boats out again.
