潛艇英雄
on the evening of 24 may 1941, british lieutenant commander malcolm wanklyn, in command of the submarine upholder, sighted an enemy troop convoy strongly escorted by destroyers off sicily. the failing light was such that observation by periscope could not be relied on, and the upholder's listening gear was out of order. still, wanklyn decided to press home his attack at short range.
wanklyn closed in. as he was about to fire, one of the enemy destroyers suddenly appeared out of the darkness at high speed, and he only just avoided being rammed. then he brought his periscope sights on and fired torpedoes, which sank a large troop ship. the enemy destroyers at once made a strong counterattack, but with coolness and skill wanklyn brought the upholder safe back to harbour.
