So.. there I am floating between the minefields off 'Port of Ness' and 'Shegra', waiting for some action.... it's quiet for a week, crew are getting restless, but I get the 'raving' bosun to whip them into shape... No sooner that happens and the whole coast lights up with action and I cannot get the torpedoes loaded fast enough..

A two ship convoy... decide to target the tanker (naturally )

Overestimate the speed again


Forget to adjust torp speed for ship slow down .. but a good hit.


Decide to let that one go.. as I've made enough noise already...


So turn around on 310.. and get out there fast... an hour or two later another cruncher is loud on the hydrophone..
Can I not get any rest..

Line up... no time for 'rulers' and a visual overestimate again...
Two torps .. one missed.


This time I made no mistake.. adjusting for my overestimate and damge slowdown... Bang on target


I'm out of control here...
Happy Days
