Returning to SHIII after a long absence. Decide to be bold on my third war patrol and sneak into Loch Ewe.
Expect, as with the Scapa visits I've made, to find at best a destroyer and a Fiji for my troubles.
Find a Nelson instead. Takes six torpedoes to put her down, by by Gott we did it. Stirred up the hornet's nest, with a mix of seven destroyers, Elcos, and trawlers all trying to find and kill me. Went north around the Isle of Ewe to escape, which they didn't see coming. Gunned it around the island at flank to charge batteries up just a little, then crept out the channel as silent as a mouse.
The patrol after was uneventful, but I'm happy. First time I've spotted a Battleship.
