Eternal Patrol
|
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.

A good example of the good sensors of the Allied ships in WW2 ^^ They found me all the time. 1kn silent running (but they hit many times so i had to do repairs) zig zag course , changing depth i try everything to get them away. But i am sure they will follow me to my home port and sink the ships there and the whole Harbour.

^^^ Great job!
I especially like the underwater shots of the fish just before impact. Well done!

She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'...
It's either amazing determination or sheer stupidity. Most crews would give up after hitting bottom the first time, but those chaps on the Rodney just can't get enough!
