May 1942 and I came across the usual "Warship Spotted" and went to Periscope depth pretty soon my Sonar guy reported a few more Warships. I had a look through the scope saw two more DD's and then a Revenge and Nelson Class Battleship came out of the fog.
Unfortunetly to fast to get anywhere close for a position and shortly after when I surfaced a Sunderland dropped two depth charges right on the stern of my Sub, I was already in a crash dive,the depth charges killed eveyone aft of the control room, damage control team couldn't control the flooding and the whole hull crushed before I could surface.
So that commander and crew were dead on the return of their first patrol.
