It's mid-morning when we get lucky. One of the look-outs spots a merchantman, off the port quarter.

I order course changed towards the sighting and study her through my binoculars.

Time to pick up the target in the U-boat Zeil Optik. Small fry, I can see, but unescorted and almost certainly unarmed.

She's soon fine off the starboard bow and I decide this is going to be a gun action. Best not to use up any of my few remaining torpedoes.

The orders are given and the deck gun quickly manned.

The steamer maintains her speed and course, seemingly oblivious to our approach. Not for much longer!
