Type 23 Vs U-Boat

[Simon F]

I thought you guys may be interested in these pictures of mine which shows a Type 23 , Britains quietest ASW Frigates and an American Aegis Class under the scope from a german U-boat. These shots were emailed to us during an exercise. These pictures make you realise just how vulnerable you are. The Germans are very good Submariners and very very profesional.

We were all part of the Standing Naval Forces Med(SNFM) it's a 6-7 month tour so we would do 2-3 week exercises to work up all units from different Navies in NATO tasking. The U-Boat was playing Orange forces. We had it lucky, these guys snuck up on the Dutch Ship and played "the Final Count down" on her Underwater Comms before simulating two up the chuff
