Two new state of the art T-Class submarines are on routine patrol around Norway, hunting for enemy uboats that were patrolling the area.
Unknown to the submarines, a Zerstorėr 30 miles to the East was attacked and moderately damaged by a Sunderland Mark III of the 1st Coastal Command based in Britain. The destroyer responded back with 20mm and 37mm anti aircraft fire, but the seaplane remained unscathed as it sent out a radio report. The destroyer was the Z1 Leberecht Maas, and she took a 15 degree list to port.
The radio report is recieved by two surfaced Tclass submarines 28 miles from the scene.
However, a FW 200 is instantly called to the scene to check for enemy surface warships. It spots a submarine, HMS Tigris. It makes a strafing pass over as its gunners/men riddle it with 7.92 bullets. Tigris sounds the ALARM and crash dives frantically. The FW 200 swings around and drops half its bombload, just as Tigris submerges.
An hour later Tigris returns to periscope dempth detecting a destroyer.
Just as Tigris launches her attack, an He 115 seaplane dives out of the sun and drops a huge 550lb bomb, shaking Tigris and splitting her hull. She sinks with all hands, after what was definetly going to be the first kill for the Royal Navy. The Z1 had no chance of escaping at such a low speed. After all the near misses of the bombs disabled one of her engines thereby slowing the ship.
