Default U-554 Patrol south of Iceland

Ve vere tasked with patrolling south of Iceland, October 1943.
Not ze best time to be in those wassers.
Ve tracked down zwei Allied convoys and sunk a few ships, but just a few.
Ze verdampt escorts are vicious in zier counterattacks.
so after zwei weeks we headed back to port (La Pallice) however as we are chugging home, our radar detects a single contact, moving at high speed on out port quarter, heading SW.
so, we swing around and close with the contact to identify it.



Gott in himmel...she is enormous! Ze Queen Mary on her way back to North America to bring back more verdampt Canadians (or worse, Americans).

so, we close and submerge...and ATTACK!

There are no escorts so the approach, and the result, is very simple.


This is what makes it a successful patrol!
