August 27, 1939. U-64 is patrolling BF14, awaiting orders, when a ship comes out of the fog heading straight towards her!



They only missed colliding by a few hundred meters. Still, as the Americans say, a miss is as good as a mile.




September 2. A ship is sighted in the distance. It's almost certainly not Polish, but still it doesn't hurt to check.





Upon a closer approach it turns out to be an American tanker.











Goodbye.
